November Man

If the movie has the word "Man" in it, it's likely a giveaway of a shoot-em-up and November Man is no exception.  Pierce Brosnan stars as Devreaux who is the prototypical spy in retirement (Red, Taken) called back for "one last job".  Set in some mysterious corner of the world, forces of evil must be dealt with using many car chases, shootouts, dead bodies and female hostages as possible.

Devreaux has left the force after a bad incident with his trainee Mason.  Devreaux is called back into action to track down the killer of the mother of his child who is undercover in Russia.  In his search for "Mira Filipova" he encounters social worker Alice who may know something about Mira.

There's a few interesting plot points:  the father/son relationship between  Devreaux and Mason and the father/daughter relationship between Devreux and Alice which is much more interesting that his actual on screen father/daughter relationship.

With the chase aspect of this movie and characters always on the run from the good/bad guys, there's quick directing to create a sense of urgency which adds a little to the mix.  In the end, it's a typical action movie - Brosnan, as Bourne.
