It has been awhile since Die Another Day was the swan song for former James Bond Pierce Brosnan, but it looks like he still has some spy skills in him in The November Man.

Brosnan stars as Peter Devereaux, an extremely dangerous and highly trained ex-CIA agent who is lured out of quiet retirement on a very personal mission. He must protect valuable witness, Alice Fournier, (Olga Kurylenko), who could expose the truth behind a decades old conspiracy. He soon discovers this assignment makes him a target of his former friend and CIA protégé David Mason (Luke Bracey). With growing suspicions of a mole in the agency, there is no one Devereaux can trust, no rules and no holds barred.

The film clearly plays off of the James Bond past with Brosnan as he gives sly smiles and has very subtle conversations with another Bond alumnus, Kurylenko. But Brosnan had his moments as a very fun, action Bond and it looks like he could re-capture that and bring together a fun film.

It hasn't been a good going though, recently, for action movies looking to rekindle the past as early 2014 fares like Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and 3 Days To Kill both struggled to make much money at the box office. Only time will tell if Bond can bring in his loyal fans for this one.

With a screenplay by Michael Finch and Karl Gajdusek and based on Bill Granger's novel There Are No Spies from the bestselling book series of the same name, The November Man is directed by Roger Donaldson and hits theaters on August 27.
