Brosnan looks good in this actually... makes you think he could still play Bond. An aging Bond, sure... but one that can still go.

The movie looks OK at best, but you're right, Brosnan does look good. What I'd love to see is a film where he and Dalton play rival spies, maybe something like he just did with THE NOVEMBER MAN.

I have to agree. I thought the same thing while watching the trailer. It's been 13 years since his last performance, yet Brosnan could still be playing a version of Bond. I'll probably check the movie out.

He looks great! I've never understand why people shouted after DaD that he was too old to play Bond. He could have done at least two more... easily!

 

Watching the trailer it doesn't look like he has the lead, but that Resident Evil woman, Milla Jovovich, and she's not realy a great actress.

I´d love to see a sequel to THE NOVEMBER MAN - starring him and Dalton.

Hope it's just a naff trailer that's making this look Straight To DVD

Poor, poor film. The plot reminded me slightly of Pollack´s Three days of the Condor, but that´s that. Brosnan is rubish in it. No characterization whatsoever and I just wished he kept silent. At least it would give him a bit more gravitas. Didn´t like November Man either. Even the Detonator flicks had more punch. I miss a good Brosnan film. Last one was... well, A Long way down was interesting. Ghost Writer was awesome. The Greatest had some good acting. Seraphim Falls was cool. Matador was nice. Laws of Attraction managed to be...fun? But then, all the others post Bond (should I say, post Evelyn?) films were rubbish, IMO.

Here's my review for anyone wanting to watch this placid offering:

Having not heard about this film, the one thing that caught my eye and lulled me into giving this a go was the sight of a mean and moody and pouty Pierce Brosnan holding a silenced gun. Yes, he’s playing his James Bond gone bad character, but with a strong track-record after his departure from Her Majesty’s Secret Service in 2002, I find him enjoyable enough to watch in many of his films, and as a fan he just about makes lacklustre films watchable.

This is one of those times, as this is a very basic, by the book, un-engaging spy thriller set in London that features lots of running, talking, grimacing and shooting. Brosnan plays it calm and collected, an ice-cold and calculating hitman who is silver-tongued and effective in his work and doesn’t ever break a sweat even in the heat of confrontation. He’s certainly embracing new and different roles that always are bolstered by a loving wink to his back catalogue as 007, but now he’s having fun playing a darker, more violent mirrored-version of the secret agent.

Milla Jovovich departs her kick-ass feminine role from the ‘Resident Evil’ franchise and instead plays a character who needs to use her brains more than bullets, and is quite vulnerable and out of her depth in the dangerous cat-and-mouse game of being chased by the good guys who think she’s a bad guy while she chases the real bad guys and has to avoid being chased by the bad guys as well. Standard stuff.

With a supporting cast who don’t really get to do much out of their clichéd roles, like the police investigators looking puzzled and macho with a gun, to the U.S ambassadors looking puzzled and desperate as time ticks on, this is really only held together by Jovovich and Brosnan – each likeable enough and enjoyable for their fans to hold onto. It’s not new, it’s not engaging and it’s very straight-to-video material.

With a few decent action set pieces and plenty of CG enhanced danger that involves a wonderfully ‘Batman Begins’ moment for Brosnan looking more badass than he ever did as Bond, don’t expect much from this, but it’s harmless enough to kill 90mins of your time if, as said, you’re a fan of Brozza.

I am a Brozza fan. Grew up with him as Bond, right after Tim. The man was a role model for me for many years. Having said that, I found his latest efforts to be very weak ones. Just saying.

Dalton and Brosnan as rival spies? I love this idea! Quick - someone knock together a script and shop it around!
