We all know the wonderful Pierce Brosnan as agent 007 of her Majesty's Secret Service. Perhaps no actor has grasped Bond as well as Brosnan, excluding the magnificent and underrated George Lazenby.
In "Noble House" Brosnan has not fully developed his current brilliant acting "chops" but his performance is a tour de force nonetheless. His portrayal of Ian Dunross, the new "taipan", is nothing short of astouning. Dunross is a formidable character both in and out of the boardroom, and bedroom for that matter as the dazzling Deborah Raffin learns later on (Casey). With an elegant arch of an eyebrow Brosnan conveys more emotion and feeling than most actors dream of in a career. Most impressive is Brosnan's golf swing on the links.
Speaking of Links, Linc Bartlett is one of the more enjoyable characters to grace the silver screen as he romances the devishly seductive Claudia Chen. Hong Kong has not seen fireworks like this since the British gained control of the economy.
Perhaps the most pleasant surprise is the work of Gordon Armstrong as gruff Superintendent Jackson, a gruff Scotland veteran who has seen too many capers to know that in high stakes market of Hong Kong, a big gain is usually followed by a huge loss in human life.
Ooh I almost forgot the magnificent work of the always captivating John Rhys Davies who commands the screen like a Roman General, and I quote "The Ho-Pak, a smaller bank....let me offer you a chance to see how the market works, Casey....."
Noble House is an instant classic that ages as well as the incomprehensible Brosnan. KUDOS TO THE ENTIRE CAST!!
