Movie Review: The Matador



My rating: 8/10 points

How do you handle an assassin who's experiencing mid-life crisis? Pierce Brosnan plays a vulnerable antagonist. A departure from the usually imperturbable characters that he plays.

Watch as the assassin Julian suffers a burnout and the only help he could find is a reluctant and gullible Danny, a down on his luck businessman played by Greg Kinnear. Commendable acting, both of them.

Julian and Danny share a plausible camaraderie. Keep an eye out for the step-by-step instruction on how to 'take out' a target.

Good cinematography and directing. Actors deliver their dialog well. Entertaining and tongue in cheek funny.
