The Matador

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

DVD. This is one odd film. A very dark Mike Figgis comedy about an assassin, played as uncool, unsophisticated, drunken and distasteful by Pierce Brosnan who meets Greg Kinnear’s computer geek in Mexico City where the former is on a job and the latter is trying to pitch his computer work. They strike up a strange connection. When Brosnan’s mojo disappears, he shows up at Kinnear’s Denver home late at night and begs a very big favor. Very edgy movie with some really distasteful attitude. We turned it off, both deciding we didn’t like it. And then, the next day we started it up again after reading a bit about it and deciding to see it as a comedy. It gets lighter and goofier as it goes on, but it’s pretty dark. In the end, we both liked it
