Review of A Matador's Mistress (2008) by Mloy X — 01 Jan 2012
It was good but it felt like it lacked a bit of content and I wasn't sold on the Brody's and Cruz's characters' passionate love-affair. Toxic? Perhaps. Tragic? Definitely. But torrid? Nah, it was luke-warm at best.
I mean, Cruz is stunning and Brody has that aura of sexy-confidence around that is mesmerizing and so alluring, but their characters just didn't have the natural chemistry. Other than that, the movie was visually gorgeous; the costumes, the architecture, the scenery.
.. all beautiful. Th story was pretty plain and straight-forward; no real shocker or great revalation; in fact, I would go so far as to say, almost a little cliche. Tragic and sad, but nothing profound.
