The November ManFive years after retiring, ex-CIA specialist Peter Devereaux (Pierce Brosnan) is reactivated by his old boss (Bill Smitrovich) and put on a plane to Russia to retrieve the love of his life (Mediha Musliovic) who has been working undercover in the Russian Government for more than a decade. Things go terribly wrong pitting Devereaux against his old agency and his protege (Luke Bracey) in a conspiracy that reaches into both the U.S. and Russian Governments involving the Presidential hopes of a genocidal Russian general (Lazar Ristovski).

Based on Bill Granger‘s novel, The November Man isn’t a bad B-movie action flick but it is a tad too convoluted for its own good. The reasoning behind putting Devereaux in the field is sketchy at best, particularly after the villain is revealed. Brosnan can play the aging spy in his sleep and Olga Kurylenko makes the most out of the over-complicated Alice who holds the key to the entire sordid affair.

Long in development hell, Ant-Man starring Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas is finally making his way to the big screen this summer. Hayley Atwell, Evangeline Lilly, Judy Greer, and Corey Stoll also star. The first trailer hit the Internet with mixed reaction from fans but this fan re-edited trailer (which you can find inside) offers a bit more excitement for a project that many are suggesting may be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first major misstep but we’ll have to wait until July 17th when the film hits theaters to decide for ourselves.
