Based on a novel There Are No Spies by Bill Granger, this story is from a series of books under the 'The November Man' series.
Brosnan plays Peter Devereaux (aka The November Man), a retired CIA officer who is recruited by his ex-boss to extract an undercover operative working for the notorious presidential candidate and former army general Federov. As Federov has a lady assassin in play, it becomes vital for Devereaux to move quickly which he does.
To cut the story short, the operative has a name which can destroy Federov. She gets made by the Russians but is rescued by Devereaux but unfortunately doesn't make it. The CIA is now after the person behind the name and all leads points to a social worker played by Olga. Devereaux saves her and then sets on a mission to find the truth, which believe-it-or-not comes with various twists in the tale!
It was nice to watch Brosnan return to an action movie, although I couldn't but help think of Bryan Mills and the Taken movies; however he seems to be a little more ruthless than Mills. To remind you that Brosnan is a star from the 80s and 90s there is a love-making scene which was totally not required (and it didn't even feature Brosnan).
If you like spy stories or Brosnan then you should watch 'The November Man'.
