Good Movies thanks to Casting

It's quite possible another actor could've pulled off the protagonist in The Matador, but that it was Pierce Brosnan playing against type made that movie much more enjoyable than maybe it deserved to be. Brosnan is spectacular as the vulgar, drunken mess of a hitman. Not a huge fan of Greg Kinnear, but he had his moments as well, especially in the final third of the film.

That was a good one and probably belongs in the Good Movies No One Seems to Know thread.
