Karla Quotient: Approved
Now available on DVD
Rated R
Directed by: Richard Shepard
Starring: Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear
Rotten Tomatoes: 75% fresh
Netflix: 3.3 stars out of 5
IMDb: 7.1 stars out of 10
Roger Ebert: 3.5 stars out of 4
First of all, this is a dark comedy. Now that may suggest to you that it is brooding and bloody and disturbing. But The Matador is not such. An assassin and a man who needs his help may give you the sense of dark imagery. Fret not. Even the lightest of tummies can handle this dandy little flick.
My sister, Karla, loves movies but her sensibilities are easily disturbed, especially when it comes to films involving children or excessive and realistic violence. I call this the Karla Quotient and this film is approved for Karla.

JULIEN NOBLE: “Come on! It’ll be a good time.”
DANNY: “Oh, so now killing people is a good time?”
JULIEN: “Can be.”
JULIEN: “I wouldn't do that for all the teenage twat in Thailand.”
BEAN: “Aren't we fucking cosmopolitan? Having a trained assassin stay overnight. Letting heartbreaking lies roll over us like a summer breeze.”
