Review of The Matador

The Matador (2005)
6/10
Just okay
30 December 2005
Just an okay screenplay. I was not moved by the slow moving script but thought the lead actors did a fine job. Brosnan was a real surprise, so good to see him out of his James Bond body and his comedic acting is well done.

But back to the script...I think there was potential in the concept but somehow it lay flat in the final story. Perhaps it is in comparison with some of the very good to great films out right now that it just did not cut it in my opinion. I have liked Greg Kinnear in most roles and this one suited him. Hope Davis is a favorite of mine so I give her nothing but high marks. Too bad she had a relatively small part in the movie. They certainly could have magnified her role for funnier results. The film is short, I wonder what they cut out of it; it may have been the really good stuff.
