The November Man Reviews

Movie Reviews

• spy-movie cliches with such dogged obligation that it often plays like a YouTube compilation of scenes from older, better thrillers, generating little overall tension and only occasionally approaching basic coherence

  by Andrew Barker [Variety ]

• sort of film where the plot and even the action become so uninteresting that you start asking plausibility questions along the lines of "Why don't they just off him already?"

  by Alonso Duralde [The Wrap ]

• overly familiar spy film serves its star well

  by John DeFore [Hollywood Reporter ]

• James Bond without the charm, heart, and sense of humor

  by Elizabeth Weitzman [NY Daily News ]

• it's all an attractive polishing of warmed-over spy-thriller antics. Nothing fresh is being brought to the table, but it's a sufficient bit of fun for anyone who longs for the days of Brosnan's spy swagger

  by Barbara VanDenburgh [Arizona Republic ]

• for the dialogue, every line seems to have been lifted directly from the Big Book of Screenwriter Cliches

  by Kyle Smith [New York Post ]

• although "The November Man" shows us some attractive people in motion, the cumulative effect leaves us neither shaken nor stirred
