This is the new Brosnan flick, yes? I'm looking forward to it.

Brosnan flick? Oh, thank goodness. I was worried it might be a documentary on mid-70's AMCs.....

What? HAs no one seen this yet?!
I am shocked, as I know the Watch has some astute movie people here.
OK, the lowdown: it is a great and fun movie. It centres around two men, one, an investment business guy and the other an aging hitman. Their lives connect and meld in some scary and funny ways, that have to be seen and enjoyed to beleive.
Excellent casting, especially Brosnan as the anti-Bond type hitman. There is some great acting hidden beneath this wonderful script and story.
See it. Really!

I finally saw this last night. What a great film, Brosnan's best acting by far!

I'm surprised this didn't do better. It's really a good, funny movie.

Just bought it on the weekend, and watched it again with the missus ... we love it. It's such a great role for both men. And the woman who plays "Bean" is great too! Not just some 2D woman/wife role. She really adds to it. The scene where Brosnan has arrived at their home and they are staring at him from the kitchen. Her line about swearing is great....
