Jacob Hall's Review

b+

 
In a place this treacherous, what a good spy needs is a spy of his own.
 
Intriguing film that is highlighted by great dialogue and two wonderful lead performances.

Harry (the always magnificent Geoffrey Rush) is an ex-con turned tailor in Panama. He is very good, and clothes some of the most powerful men in the country. Soon, a suave sex-addicted spy named Andy (Pierce Brosnan, surprisingly effective, plays a sort of anti-James Bond) hires Harry to eavesdrop on the men he clothes. Soon, Harry resorts to making up what he hears, and causes a major crisis.

Thrilling, funny, and shocking. Not a film for everyone, but most people will enjoy the wonderfully written scenes between Rush and Brosnan.

I wonder if she would wear that dress while reading me her children's book?
