Will Pierce Brosnan experience a career resurgence while playing a hard-edged former CIA agent in The November Man? BoxOffice takes a closer look at the commercial prospects for the new action flick.

The November Man 
(Relativity)

PROS:

- Reactions to the first trailer have been positive
- It's clear that Pierce Brosnan is trying to follow in the footsteps of Liam Neeson, another respected thesp who has managed to turn into an action hero late in his career

CONS:

- Labor Day weekend has produced its share of duds
- Will audiences really want another action movie after a summer that's full of them?
