Celluloid Heroes

This movie is an odd bird. For those of you who like to see Pierce Brosnan in his fancy suits, you may not like him here. He's more like Leisure Suit Larry than James Bond. But I think that this role actually fits him better.

Julian Noble is a Fatality Facilitator (his words). In other words, he is a hit man who takes care of situations for people who needs things done. Nothing so fancy as a spy or a mafia Wiseguy. His clients are from the corporate world, or so he says, and they come to him as they have for 22 years. The only problem is that it's his birthday and he's left without a soul in the world to talk to, so he heads to the bar, and there he finds Danny Wright (Greg Kinnear), in Mexico City trying to make the sale of a lifetime.
