Pierce Brosnan 's ` ` The November Man '' is an ` ` - thriller paycheck - worthy '' The movie reunites him with his ` ` Widow 's Peak '' director , Roger Donaldson . He 's also asked to protect a relief worker ( Olga Kurylenko , a former Bond girl of the Daniel Craig era ) who holds more secrets than anyone could guess -- except the audience , that is -- while ducking a past protege ( the stiff-as-a-board Luke Bracey ) who chases him in some rather meh cat-and-mouse power play . The actor plays a ` ` ' '' and ex - CIA agent who is coaxed out of retirement . Overall , the film is silly and lacks originality .
