Critic Reviews of "The Matador"
Time OutAugust 16, 2007Brosnan's irreverent charm makes this a welcome alternative to Bond nonsense, even if it's insufficient to compensate for dreary Kinnear ...
Orlando SentinelJanuary 27, 2006... a dark comedy that is missing the laughs to be funny and the darkness to be, well, dark.
Globe and MailJanuary 20, 2006Never as good as you'd hoped or as bad as you'd feared, The Matador is one of those of up-and-down experiences.
Arizona RepublicJanuary 14, 2006Let the good times roll, and take a run at The Matador.
Miami HeraldJanuary 13, 2006It's painful to watch as the movie basically destroys itself in the second half, slipping from its elegant thriller setup to tired sitcom shenanigans.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comJanuary 13, 2006The destination isn't much to get excited about, but you're in good company along the way.
IGN DVDDecember 24, 2010Absurd and quirky at times, The Matador plays like a "Bizarro World" variation of a James Bond film. It's beautifully shot, strange and deeply meaningful.
Cinema WriterAugust 19, 2010Brosnan's sleazy, broken-spirited hitman Julian Noble nabs the spotlight in Richard Shepard's generally pleasing comic thriller.
Cinema CrazedApril 29, 2009With great performances, including a scene stealing show stopper from Brosnan, and tight direction, this is a great crises of conscience tale.
eFilmCritic.comSeptember 27, 2007Brosnan's work as a monster who'd like to become human, but has no idea how, is painfully funny.
