The November Man 2014 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is good.

Fundamental elements: there are numbers and words on screen, voice-over elements, cultural elements, background music, slow-motion effects, mental imagery, yes and no to subtitles being used when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

The background music has a consistent presence in this project, it isn't annoying but it is there and it is something I should point out anyway and this title is partial to using slow-motion effects in the action sequences [you will now but I mean, when you come to watch this project.]

Storyline/Back stories: on both counts they are something safe and reliable [this will not be the only time I use this particular line,] but for one example the viewers get this back story via mental imagery and on a quick side note I am now aware that I have been spelling back stories wrong in some of my blogs [back storys,] without giving you a long speech I have picked up on it today and instead of going over them all in one way or another, I was thinking I would address it here and move on.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, combat, chasing, a drone, explosions, a character/performer stretching in one scene, a conscious decision car crash, a game of Russian Roulette but for one example our lead role/character picks up this long shaped canister and hits an oncoming character on a motorbike with it taking this character/performer off this motorbike. Moving on to the artistic visions there are singing, playing the piano and a limited appearances of this cat and in one scene this dog and his owner going for a walk. Now in one action sequence [so you will have to be quick to see this,] there is this wallpaper which has a blue-and-white design on it, this looks good also.

Character developments/Performances: the character developments are something safe and reliable with performances which reflect them so these are good, there is good chemistry or friction [depending where you are; is depending what you get.]

This film receives: 6/10, this may sound disrespectful at first but the more you read the more the less disrespectful it may come across, there is nothing special about this film but however it is a solid film; good for a one-time viewing, maybe with a-take-away or night-in date or both those kind of situations.
