Overall Call:
The Tailor of Panama seemed to come from nowhere and was a pleasant surprise. The script is very good and the cast held their own in this interesting drama/thriller. There isn't the usual explosions and overdone car chase scenes but the story was engaging enough to hold me without that other stuff. There was a delightful use of double entendres throughout the dialog. Geoffrey Rush was solid as usual and Pierce Brosnan turned in a nice performance playing a real slim ball this time. Well executed film and diversion from typical Hollywood schlock.
Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Well written dialogue
+ Engaging story
