“The Matador” is a film based on an unlikely friendship between a hitman, Pierce Brosnan - who plays Julian Noble - and a normal “nice” guy, Greg Kinnear - who plays Danny Wright. Their friendship begin thanks to a conversation in a hotel bar and as the film progresses we see that these two are not so different after all. In the end, we see that Danny ( who is a down-on-his-luck businessman who is still mourning the death of his young teenage son) is no different than the assassin. He is just as evil and greedy and will do anything to succeed.

The film is not about a real friendship, it’s about a friendship of convenience and it shows the level of corruption, it is alco vulgar and dirty and is not to be viewed by children and/or teenagers.
