THE MATADOR




Action thriller

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Greg Kinnear: Danny Wright, a struggling traveling salesman
Pierce Brosnan: Julian Noble, an assassin
Hope Davis: Danny’s wife, Bean
Philip Hall: Julian’s employer, Mr. Randy

REVIEW
The movie is done very much tongue-in-cheek and has its moments. The juxtaposition of contrasting values (good/bad, success/failure etc) adds to the fun.

CLASSIFICATION
for simulated sexual content and language (mostly the f-word)

FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
When Julian and Danny go into the kitchen the clock on the wall shows it to be 5:50. When the camera position changes the clock now shows 5:30.

P.S.
Although Julian and Danny attend a bullfight, the director has chosen not to include anything that would be disturbing to the squeamish.
