Joel H @786Joel 3d When I stumbled upon The Matador years ago, I was impressed by how unique it felt. And I still feel that way. The music, editing, and acting in this dark comedy all give it a quirky vibe. It’s also a lot of fun to see Pierce Brosnan, James Bond himself, play an aging hitman on the verge of a breakdown. I think this is one of his best performances, and yet this movie flew completely under the radar, and I don’t think anyone even remembers it anymore. It does make a few odd choices, and I’m not sure how we’re supposed to feel at the end, but if you haven’t seen The Matador, you should give it a shot.

Que vive pelo Mundo executando aqueles que ele é contratado. Mas esta vida, lhe tras uma solidão, por não ter um vida social, familiar. Até o dia que conhece Danny (kinear) e faz amizade. Noble vai fazer mais uns trabalhos, até o dia que aparece na casa de Danny e passa uns dias na casa dele na companhia da sua família. Até o momento que adversários de Noble coloquem em risco a família de Danny. E claro que Noble resolve tudo e vive feliz com seus amigos. Um dos primeiros filmes comédia de Brosnan, um filme mediano. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 6 See more judy W @RT93106261 09/14/2024 I never wanted to watch this film because I knew there would be bullfighting at some point. I saw a few seconds of a bullfight once. The sight of the gored horse and a confused and terrified bull,frozen in it's track,causes me nightmares to this day. But I love the cast, and so recently decided to watch it. I think this is Brosnan's best performance- I honestly do. He takes on all of this character proudly and honestly. Brosnan balances the emotional nuances with comedy, and makes believable the grotesque behavior of this seriously flawed human. I never once thought of Janes Bond,Thomas Crown,or Mamma Mia :) This is a completely different person, and a far more complex character. Greg Kinnear and Hope Davis give original and stellar performances as well, which melt and contrast perfectly with Brosnan. Here is wonderful acting in almost every scene- blending and fading exactly when needed, without ever disrespecting the space of their fellow actors. These 3 are the perfect blend. This movie has depth and substance. It makes you laugh and can make you cry. It makes you care far less about the story than these lives within it. The director is equally intelligent and sensitive to the flaws and comedic parts within each of his actors. He seems more of a sensitive conductor, truly appreciating the talent in his 'orchestra" I adored it . -all of it- But I adore See more Alec B @Alec97 12/14/2023 It's surprisingly low-key for an "action-comedy" (if it should even be called that) and it's full of surprising plot choices that opt for a more conversational tone than obvious jokes. Brosnan is so, so good in this role. Just cartoonish enough to be amusing and then measured exactly when he needs to be. See more Read all reviews
