Top 2. The November Man (2014) - [Opens 8/27]
108 min - Action | Crime | Thriller
Metascore: 33/100 (14 reviews)
An ex-CIA operative is brought back in on a very personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level CIA officials and the Russian president-elect.
Director: Roger Donaldson
Stars: Pierce Brosnan, Luke Bracey, Olga Kurylenko, Bill Smitrovich
Storyline:
Pierce Brosnan and director Roger Donaldson reunite nearly 20 years after Dante's Peak for Bronan's Bondiest outing since Die Another Day. Apparently the studio is already at work on a potential sequel; often that's a last-minute Hail Mary for a film of questionable awareness, though. We hear Olga Kurylenko is underutilized and watching Bronan with his protege, played by Luke Bracey, is like "trying to get invested in a battle between Captain America and a tuna sandwich."
Top 3. Last Weekend (2014) - [Limited]
94 min - Comedy | Drama
When an affluent matriarch gathers her dysfunctional family for a holiday at their Northern California lake house, her carefully constructed weekend begins to come apart at the seams, leading her to question her own role in the family.
Directors: Tom Dolby | Tom Williams
Stars: Patricia Clarkson, Zachary Booth, Joseph Cross, Chris Mulkey
Storyline:
Patricia Clarkson has been sporadic with her movie appearances over the past few years, and it's possible that that the funding for this film hinged upon her participation (we don't know that for sure -- just theorizing). After watching the trailer, we immediately thought about what it would be like to see Clarkson lead this cast in a staged version of the material so she could really go far in her development of what seems to be a memorable character.
