The Matador (2005)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 7/09

7/09: The Matador is a typical picture that tries to be cool and stylish with a quirky storyline and fun characters, yet it fails on every possible level.

Copying off what Alec Baldwin did in Miami Blues, Pierce Brosnan tries to reinvent himself in the hopes of shaking off his James Bond image. It never works, and he'll be stuck with it for the rest of his career. Meanwhile, it's pathetic when Greg Kinnear tries to pull off the awkward schtick that William H. Macy is known for.

All in all, The Matador is a Miami Blues wannabe.
