The Tailor of Panama movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
David Germain, Associated Press: A satisfying blend of action, intrigue, snappy dialogue and dark humor. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: A wise, vivid, thoughtfully textured film. Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: Stylish, sly and sophisticated, a classy adult film redolent of that satirical spy spoof Our Man in Havana. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: If the film's emotions are not always in balance, its clumsiness is also part of the fun. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: The decision to let Brosnan play Osnard probably kept the Bond producers up a few nights, but letting him do it was the right call. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Well-tailored but not as well as many of John Boorman's other films. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Strong as Brosnan is, Rush is more impressive for the ways he can make us sympathize with someone who is doing dreadful things. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: The Tailor of Panama teeters from drama to farce to thriller to delicious black comedy, and delivers on all fronts. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: The film has been directed with a shrewd balance of wit, tension, parody and empathy. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: In a world full of off the rack thrillers, it's fine boutique quality. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: A literate and entertaining comic thriller. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: If you think the spy-thriller genre has been streamlined and spoofed and subverted until nothing new can be done to it, think again. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: This plot-centered motion picture demands that its audience thinks rather than sits passively and watches. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Has a lot of wry, twisted humor. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: A sophisticated, subtle adult entertainment that is also a compliment to the audience. Read more
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: Very talky -- fortunately, with actors like these and a script by Andrew Davies, Boorman and Le Carre himself, the talk is frequently good. Read more
Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine: When the revolution turns real, the film finally collapses under the burden of implausibility. Read more
Geoff Andrew, Time Out: Boorman has crafted a witty, classy and richly enjoyable morality play, which skewers the mercenary self-interest behind Anglo-American imperialism almost as an afterthought. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: The director himself knows a bit about tailoring, but he still sent his movie out into the world with a few seams showing. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Despite a dissatisfying conclusion, a sense that things don't completely jell, The Tailor of Panama is lively and provocative. Read more
