With
James Bond squarely behind him,
Pierce Brosnan couldn't have picked a juicier role to help cleanse that martini aftertaste. As a flawed and potently potty-mouthed hit man who develops emotional and psychological problems before an important kill, Brosnan sparks up a friendship with average guy
Greg Kinnear. Both find themselves in Mexico City for pivotal moments of their lives: Brosnan is coming off a botched assassination attempt and needs to re-establish his cred, while Kinnear is there to land a business deal following the death of his child.
In both humorous and sincere ways, they soon learn to appreciate each other's livelihood without being judgmental. It's a tour-de-force performance for Brosnan, who simultaneously shows plenty of machismo and vulnerability--and delivers some of the sauciest lines of the year. Be sure to grab this one by the horns and enjoy the ride.
