Tailor of Panama, The

A jaunty spy movie based on the book by John Le Carre. Pierce Brosnan devilishly tweaks his James Bond image as a disgraced British spy who’s ordered to twiddle his thumbs in Panama, where he runs into an expatriate tailor (Geoffrey Rush) who may be more than he seems. There’s as much winking as acting going on here, and it’s all a rakish delight.
