Pierce Brosnan is firmly back in action man mode for the gritty looking thriller, November Man, from his Dante's Peak director, Roger Donaldson.

The trailer starts slow but builds wonderfully from a monotone speech by Brosnan given to young CIA recruit Luke Bracey (who's also the lead in the Point Break remake) to some cool 'splosions and stuff.

Donaldson has made a couple of excellent films (Thirteen Days being one) and the odd ropey one (Nic Cage starrer Seeking Justice) but has a firm grasp of character and seems to be handling the action extremely well.
