      Regardless of life or death, just loneliness

      "Matador" is not about life or death, but about loneliness.

      The hostess Bi learned that Julian who was visiting at midnight was the killer, hiding by the kitchen door, peeping at Julian, and starting to curse with excitement.
      "Fuck me, what the hell?"
      Her husband Danny looked back at her in surprise.
      "Why? Can't I say bad words? Especially now!
      Don't scold at this time, when will you stay?
      Now is the best time for the
      fuck to say "Fuck". Damn there is a...

      Boring

      Brosnan is obviously old, he is no longer the 007, he has appeared like a dead actor. There was a beard growing up here, although at a glance, it was the elegant agent.

      Julian is a killer, but he has retired for a long time. He suffers from phobias. When performing tasks, he always regards the goal as himself or the shadow of his childhood, so he can't start and missed many tasks.

      When he came to Mexico, he met Danny, who was also in trouble in his career. The two had a...

      35+, low cost, high execution, stability, matador

      [There is a situation]

      HR Tucao 35+, I am most afraid of meeting people who are obviously incapable and still feel good about themselves.

      [Blind Weapon]

      The most gentleman in the history of 007, Pierce Brosnan, played a middle-aged crisis movie "Matador"

      A story of a haggard 35+ single killer, and another 35+ white-collar salesperson with a double crisis in marriage and career, two big men came out of the trough hand in hand.

      Summarizing their successful...

      Junk movie?

      When I watched the movie, I didn’t find that it was 007, but I just felt familiar;
      aside from the brilliance of 007, this movie is quite bad; the
      script is not a good story, personally, I don’t feel that things that don’t rely on shops don’t have to be publicized so much. The killer may be cool. Yeah, but after all, it’s a killer, and it’s not a good business. To find a reason is nothing more than money and hatred; another ordinary businessman’s enthusiasm for killing people seems...

      Retired 007

      Everybody, last time, we saw the performance of the active-duty 007 in "Layer cake", the handsome blonde Daniel Craig before taking office. Let us look at this time, a gentleman, the former Mr. 007 Brosnan (applause), his retirement life.
      First of all, his look, oh, he's a lot older, which really shocked 007's Fans, but for me, this look is pretty good. He blew up a Porsche at least as soon as he appeared, so it was very stylish. Yes, as a former 007, the shot cannot be too shabby. If he...

      Is it the mutual aid and redemption of two people? In fact, I prefer the fast-paced scenes in the first half. The second half of the analysis is not bad, but the transition is too sudden, and some cannot be connected. But if I encounter such an uncertain psychopath on the road, I don't have the patience of a male...

    • Mr. Randy: Did you study the assignment?

      Julian Noble: No, I shredded it. Then I humped the bellboy on the room service cart.

    • Julian Noble: I didn't mean to weird you out. I was wrong, please. I just get paranoid sometimes. I'm drunk. I'm tired, and I've just been fornicating for the past two hours, and before that I was doing shit - horrible business shit.

    • Julian Noble: I'm the relief pitcher in the bottom of the ninth... and I've fumbled the ball.
