Terrible

Pierce Brosnan is always fun to watch, but I couldn't get through this one. Everything felt like a cheap version of countless spy films. The R rating proved that stronger violence doesn't make a film better when the execution of everything else sucks.

the banter between brosnan and his ex partner on the phone while they were chasing each other was cringe worthy and after that scene I turned it off.

I usually try not to do this, but considering it was Netflix I figured I would waste my time watching something I actually enjoyed. glad I didn't waste $ on this one.

instead I switched to Mission Impossible, not a bad spy movie.

Not sure what was terrible in this .I liked it !

I completely disagree and I have seen almost every spy movie ever made. If you are into hollywood big explosions and crazy CGI effects (and there's nothing with that) this might not be your cup of tea. IF you like your spy flicks more on the realistic side, then this is the one to watch.

Not the best ever but not terrible by a long shot. We watched it on Netflix and enjoyed it despite some things that were annoying. And I rarely give up a chance to see Pierce!

The November man is a great nonstop action thrill ride and it's a much grittier version of James Bond which I thought was really cool

Like everyone else on your post, I also disagree. Nothing felt cheap about it at all. It was filmed very well including the action scenes, the acting was great and it was a fast paced fun action movie. It's funny you say you "couldn't get through the movie". Really? Lol you must be very hard to please. I actually liked this better than Bond movies which I usually find boring.

Not terrible, but not as good as I hoped . . . 6/10.

Sorry, I can't agree with you. I loved it!

Good to see Brosan get a bit agro. The only "thing", I thought needed work, was whenever he had a physical fight, he came out of it without a scratch.
