Balanced spoke movie

Despite a decidedly wayward accent, Brosnan’s irreverent charm makes this a desirable choice to Stick jokes, unprejudiced if it’s too little to compensate for dreary Kinnear, the less than sparkling Davis, and the movie’s moral ‘stance’ (if such mendacious posturing merits that term); somehow the take contrives to be at once offensively callous hither put out of one’s misery victims and ludicrously timid in its imprudence to keep compatibility for the three leads. This keep-your-cake-and-eat-it attitude extends to a bullfight, Julian’s fancy appropriate for ‘margaritas and cock’, and virtually caboodle else. The film’s fast, has some organized lines (‘I look like a Bangkok hooker on a Sunday morning after the navy left town’), but its outrageousness is facile; as sulky comedy it’s not so much treasonous as frustratingly tricky.
