The
Tailor of Panama is a classic, commercial high-budget movie.
Pierce Brosnan plays a bad guy, a challenge for the favorite
James Bond, indeed. He has no scruples, even for a spy.
Of course, he uses his dead gorgeous looks to get what he
wants. And yes, you guessed it, even as the bad guy, he's
getting all the attention.
No
matter; this a good spy story, and the best acting is done
by Geoffrey Rush, the tailor of Panama, the one who carries
the whole story on his back. The tailor is a pathological
liar, with a dirty past, hidden from his wife [Jamie Lee
Curtis]. Of course, Oxnard [Brosnan] uses the tailor, without
worrying about the consequences, bringing out the worse
in the tailor of Panama. Have you ever asked yourself who
is really behind the funny guy working in the British Embassy
somewhere in Third World countries? And where is good old
Michael Caine?
How
hot love scenes can be between a no-scruples good looking,
British Intelligence "James Bond" with the good girl of
the British Embassy, you can judge for yourself.
