If you loved The November Man, try The Recruit

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Roger Donaldson, and they sit in Action / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The November Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Recruit is

Langley headquarters on a winter morning, a lone briefcase. A rookie agent faces off against seasoned operatives in hand-to-hand combat. This spy thriller recalls Cold War era espionage films.
