Review of The November Man (2014) by Naomi_G — 20 Apr 2020
What I noticed most about 'The November Man', was the extras. There are a lot of gunfights in the movie, most of which occur in places surrounded by people. Rather than spy movie type gunfights, they're more similar to what a "Delta Force" or "SEAL" team would do. For the most part, with the exception of the opening scene, people walk within a few feet of the agents holding and shooting all kinds of guns, like nothing was happening. It's an example of lack of attention to detail that pervades the movie. Of course, an increase in number and ferocity of action sequences has become more common in "spy thriller" type movies as of late, to the extent that the spying and thrilling has greatly diminished.
It certainly shapes the storyline in 'The November..."; it's pretty standard stuff, with a slight twist near the end.
Overall, the movie progresses briskly, and it's entertaining up to a point, just, once finished, it seemed like there was something missing.
