| | The Tailor of Panama (2001): Geoffrey Wright, Pierce Brosnan, Jamie Lee Curtis, Brendan Gleeson - PopMatters Film Review |
 | | Andy Osnard (Pierce Brosnan) is a British spy who has recently screwed up (actually, he has been discovered having an affair with a diplomat's wife) and been dispatched to Panama, an assignment that on its face, looks like it will be dull and dreggy. |
 | | Among these, the most gossipy is Henry (Geoffrey Rush), a self-exiled British tailor who spends much of his time hobnobbing with the tiny nation's wealthy denizens, drunks, and assorted official has-beens. |
 | | On meeting Andy, Henry describes the local scene to him as "Casablanca without heroes." Indeed, between the divey bars and the brothels (where Henry and Andy spend some awkward minutes on a magic-fingers bed, discussing business and looking very silly), the place is both depressed and depressing. |
