The Matador

The Matador was one of the funnier movies that I have seen. The role of Julian was made for Pierce Brosnan, and it really showed that he has a comedic flair. This is not your basic hitman film, first off its funny, and second it has some of the best one liners. The film is about a hitman named Julian Noble, who is on assignment in Mexico, while there he meets Danny Wright a, businessman with rotten luck. The two start to taking and form sort of a bond while in Mexico, until Danny sees who Julian really is. When Julian starts to get fed up with the business he goes to visit Danny in Denver, meets his wife Bean, and asks Danny to help him.

Pierce Brosnan was really good as Julian. He was so funny and he cracked me up with some of the things that he said. Some of them being vulgar and offensive, which made them that much better. He and Greg Kinnear (who played Danny Wright) worked well together, they had good chemistry and they worked well off of each other. Hope Davis played Danny's wife, Bean and she was funny when she was shown. At one point she keeps cursing and Danny looks at her, and she said what "can't I curse, there is a hitman in our house, if not now when" and it was just so funny. The scene with the three of them in Denver was very funny and I could not stop laughing.

Another thing i liked about his film was the music that they used in it, it wasn't music that you think would be used in a film like this, but it worked really well. It reminded me of the music that Quentin Tarantino uses in his films, music that stands out and almost becomes a character itself.
