I quite liked this film. I found Pierce Brosnan to be surprisingly good! I think he might just make it out of being type cast for the rest of his life now. It?s also a great script.
'Mexico has the best margaritas...and cock!' He he
An absolute good time at the movies. Pierce Bronson gives his best perfromance yet, he's a riot of genious and hilarity. It's one of those roles that can redefine a career. Greg Kinnear is teriffic. Hope Davis is wonderful. A wild and endlessley fun buddy comedy. Bronson and Kinn...( read more)
Everyone who always though Pierce Brosnan had reached a dead end by playing James Bond will have to think again. Just when you least expect it he plays a moustached, drinking assassin, who walks around in speedos and boots and starts an unlikely friendship with a unlucky salesman...( read more)

(2005 Director: Richard Shepard) Pierce Brosnan stars as a long-time assassin in his first role after James Bond.
The Matador strives for an airy, merry amorality, but it never quite achieves liftoff, though at times it comes close. full review
The movie's writer-director, Richard Shepard, balances the macabre and the sentimental, and understands that although his film contains questions like 'don't successful people always live with blood o... full review
Julian speaks for the film when he says, 'I'm a wreck, I'm a parody.' full review
A painful morass of Odd Couple bickering and Elmore Leonard-style criminal kookiness. full review
hilarious, sophistaced humor, the type of comedy that involves knowing what the characters are thinking and feeling. something about pierce brosnan's misery is just hilarious to me. i agreee with the guy who liked life aquatic with steve zissu, these types of comidies are perfect. i also suggest the movie "being there"
Well I suppose some people might enjoy it, mainly if they've never seen a good spy/assassin flick, but don't let that guy fool you. There is no subtle humour--at least, none that's funny. Really, the script is something I could have come up with drunk, as is the acting. But don't take my word for it, see it for yourself.
The poster below me is entitled to his own opinions but I have to say that he probably didn't understand the film. It’s the kind of movie that not everyone will like (or understand) but those who do will love it. Many people hated films such as The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou or Rushmore mainly because they didn't understand the sophisticated humour/story line. So if like me your a fan of Wes Anderson (or similar) check The Matador out as you'll probably enjoy it loads.
What the frick? Best movie of 2006?? Are you mad?! This was a complete piece of crap. Bad acting, wandering plot, cheap humour, boring and unlikely story, and cheap cinematography.
Jeez, for someone to say "this is easily the best movie of the year" he would have to be drunk out of his mind and hanging upside down. *walks off muttering to himself*
very funny, a lot of twists, you have to watch it straight through to the very end to understand everything.
