"There's no retirement home for assassins is there?"

The Matador
Pierce Brosnan, Greg Kinnear, Hope Davis (2005)
97 minutes
Rated R (violence, sex and language)

Everywhere I looked I seemed to find positive reviews of this film. Because of that I went in to my viewing of it with high expectations and was very disappointed. I found Julian Noble (Brosnan) irritating. Danny Wright (Kinnear) was charming, but I had trouble believing anything that happened in the movie. I didn't feel any real connection to any of the characters until the last ten minutes of the film, when I finally felt like I was getting more background on the characters.
