Pierce Brosnan portrays Peter Devereaux--former CIA agent who gets pulled into an intrigue regarding the corruption of a Russian political candidate. While active, they called him "The November Man", referring to the fact that after he finished a mission, nothing survived.
You have to pay attention during his film to understand the myriad of characters and their relationships. The action is almost nonstop. And the story develops quickly.
Unlike Bond, Devereaux is not a smooth operator. He does not pause to enjoy a fine cognac or the company of a beautiful woman. He is on mission every moment and willing to make the hard choices.
I like this film, because within the spycraft and action is a story about values and making choices. Devereaux is a weapon aimed at a target, but he finds he cannot avoid his own emotions or the judgments they force him to make.
The action is good, the music is good, the acting is very good and mostly understated.
