The Matador
Pierce Brosnan stars as Julian Noble, a no-longer-noble hit man who spends his free time getting drunk and chasing impossibly young skirts. In Mexico he meets Danny Wright (Greg Kinnear), an average Joe trying to land an important business deal. Jealous of Danny's simple life, Julian becomes friends with the Denver suburbanite, who married his high school sweetheart, Bean (Hope Davis), but lost his young son in a terrible accident. One day at a bullfight, Julian tells Danny what he does for a living, but Danny doesn't believe him until Julian shows him an example of his expertise. But when Julian asks Danny to help him with his next assignment, Danny is dead-set against it, and ready to end their brief friendship. Little does he know that he has not seen the last of the rather unique hit man.

Brilliant Fun even for by a vegetarians standards!
Watched this thinking I would hate it, that it would be full of needless bullfights and bloody painful images. This is not the case... thankfully. Nice to see ... read more »

Gerat film
Great story and performances. Standout performance from Broson. Although I didn't like his look. It was how he always looks but with a tash stuck on. Could ... read more »

There is life after Bond. Pierce Brosnan may have been retired from 007, but he’s retained his license to kill in The Matador , a comedy about a burnt out hitman (he prefers ‘facilitator of fatalities’) who befriends a down on his luck businessman (Greg Kinnear) in Mexico City. Julian Noble (Brosnan) is very good at what he does. But he’s also getting old and coming to the unpleasant realisation he doesn’t have a friend in the world. Which is how he comes to take...
