REVIEW: THE MATADOR

This is a perfect movie for those wanting to see Pierce Brosnan in an anti-Bond role. Brosnan plays hitman Julian Noble, a hitman who's losing his touch and nerve. He meets a pretty unlucky businessman named Danny Wright (Greg Kinnear, Bad News Bears) while on a job down in Mexico. The two forge an unlikely friendship of sorts, which comes to light a year or so later when Julian shows up on the doorstep of Danny and his wife Bean (Hope Davis, The Weather Man), asking for Danny's help in offing a target. This movie could easily be described as a dark comedy - with many funny moments, and some almost uneasy laughs.
