We’re all pretty used to seeing Pierce Brosnan play good guys, even when he’s in an anti-hero type of role there’s still a likability to the man. The new film SURVIVOR sheds that image, depicting Brosnan as a bomb maker (called “The Watchmaker” by the authorities) not afraid to take out innocents while completing his mission. When a woman (played by Milla Jovovich) survives his latest effort, she becomes a target that must be eliminated. This comes from director James McTeigue (V FOR VENDETTA) and also stars Dylan McDermott, Angela Bassett and Robert Forster. I should also warn you, this is one of those trailers that shows a LOT of the movie, so be warned. I’m not sure I understand why they didn’t just call this THE WATCHMAKER, as it would have made more sense and sounded like a better title… but what do I know. Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
After being mysteriously framed for a terrorist bombing, a Foreign Service Officer (Milla Jovovich) must evade government capture and death by a ruthless assassin (Pierce Brosnan) in order to stop the real perpetrators’ master—and much deadlier—plan. SURVIVOR is directed by James McTeigue and also stars Dylan McDermott, Angela Bassett and Robert Forster.
