An underrated movie

If you wonder if Pierce Brosnan is a good actor or not, you shouldn'treally check his Bond flicks (which are fine, by the way) but you should check this underrated/unknown gem. Brosnan gives here, easily, the best performance of his career, seriously. He manages to portray a hitman who is, at the same time, lethal but also a terrible loser. Against him, you have Greg Kinnear who gives also a top-... read more

An underrated movie

“If you wonder if Pierce Brosnan is a good actor or not, you shouldn'treally check his Bond flicks (which are fine, by the way) but you should check this underrated/unknown gem. Brosnan gives here, easily, the best performance of his career, seriously. He manages to portray a hitman who is, at the same time, lethal but also a terrible loser. Against him, you have Greg Kinnear who gives also a top-notch performance and they just rock the house together. Honestly, I have never seen a movie giving such a funny, sad and refreshing look on this profession. The directing is pretty good and gives enough room for both actors to shine throughout the whole thing. To conclude, I really enjoyed this flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Brosnan's work.” read more
