The Matador (15)

Jul 8 2006 By Graham Young, Birmingham Mail

THE Matador tries to deliver a hitman thriller with a difference, with glamorous locations, an air of mystery and even some dirty talk if you like that sort of thing.

It never quite takes off, but the sight of former 007 star Pierce Brosnan sending himself up by walking through a hotel wearing nothing more than trunks, a pair of boots and glasses is worth the rental alone.

The DVD extras include an alternative opening and deleted scenes.
