Devereaux who is asked to return to the fray by his old boss Hanley (Bill Smitrovich) for a particularly personal mission involving an old flame of his who is infiltrating the Russian political scene. When Deveraux's sneaky task goes awry, he finds himself being hunted by the CIA and his former pupil Mason (Luke Bracey) seeing as how Hanley kept the mission under wraps from those within the agency.
The problem with The November Man is that it's so generic, so "been there, done that," and so obvious that it's tough to get excited about anything it presents. The acting is okay, but no one does anything special. The action sequences are adequately directed, but they never really create any excitement or tension. The story kept my interest, but my interest never piqued with true vigor and anticipation of what was around the bend.
So, in the end, The November Man just gets a "blah" from me and nothing more.
The RyMickey Rating: C-
