DVD Review: This is a hip and hilarious dark comedy. Pierce Brosnan gives one of his finest performances in “The Matador,” a low-key buddy comedy with an agreeably sinister twist. Julian Noble (Pierce Brosnan), a hitman, meets Danny Wright (Greg Kinnear), a down-on-his-luck businessman in Mexico. They form a sort of twisted friendship. Later, Julian takes Danny into his confidence while watching a bullfight and shows him how to function as a killer. Danny is both terrified and exhilarated. Then, six months later, Julian shows up at Danny’s house in Denver and ask for an impossible favor.
