two year ago i watch the matador in cinema and i love everything about this movie . obviously and i be totally under impression of pierce brosan magnificent role . yesterday and i caught this movie again on tv so i look at it a bit deep . now and i can say with certain that this movie isn not that special but you just get ta love it because of one man . brosnan lift it grade up in my opinion with amazing performance of julian noble and tired hit man who have no friend . soon julian meet danny wright ( greg kinnear ) in mexico city and man who get bad luck represent his son die in accident and his job isn not go that well and he not sure that he can keep his wife bean ( hope davis ) . i always like movie like this while crime movie with big touch of humor . mostly that humor come from brosnan a he tell joke about dwarf with big d. or one of my favorite line in this movie represent i look like a bangkok hooker on a sunday morning and after the navy leave town . brosnan say it with his charm while he drink his margarita a usually . i also like greg typical american face kinnear in the role of loser that be very lively make because there be plenty of people like danny wright . so i recommend you to watch quite possibly the best role of brosnan ever . he will make you smile and admire him at the same time . great brosnan in not equally great movie .
