The Matador


Take that 007 job and shove it. If Pierce Brosnan can be as roaringly fierce and funny as he is as Julian Noble, a hit man suffering a meltdown, then who needs James Bond? Writer-director Richard Shepard gives Brosnan his meatiest role ever, and he digs in with relish. The sight of a drunken Brosnan walking through a hotel lobby in nothing but cowboy boots and Speedos is time-capsule-worthy. Julian meets Denver exec Danny Wright (Greg Kinnear) at a bar in Mexico City, a place where Julian insists the margaritas taste best and also the cock. The gay joke flips out Danny, but the two become friends an odd coupling that lets Brosnan and Kinnear lob comic fastballs. But Julian is falling apart. This top facilitator of fatalities cant squeeze the trigger. How Danny, with a wife (Hope Davis) back home, manages to figure in Julians rehab as a killer is a surprise no review should reveal. Just sit back and enjoy the fun.
