Danny Wright (Kinnear) is a happily-married salesman who's on a business trip in Mexico City. While sitting at a hotel bar he makes the acquaintance of obnoxious guy Julian Noble (Brosnan), but Danny eventually does warm up to him. The following day the two of them go to a bullfight and as "The Matador" is doing his thing, Julian divulges his little secret—he's a facilitator of fatalities. Six months later Danny is home with his wife Bean (Davis) when Julian shows up unannounced and wanting some help with one more job—a job that involves the by-the-book straight arrow Danny. (Tricia Spears)
