[regarding
Roger Donaldson and
The November Man (2014)] And let's not forget director Roger Donaldson's male leer, a hybrid of that of Brian De Palma, without the subtext, and Michael Bay, without the giant robots. Female extras favor short skirts and low cut tops, the camera favoring low rear angles on the former. When it comes time for the film's purse-clutching every-woman, played by Olga Kurylenko, to take the initiative, she does so in the shortest, lowest, leggiest, sequined tube skirt imaginable. And Donaldson, the man responsible for the misogynist Species (1995) and the ridiculously oversexed The Getaway (1994) can imagine a lot.
