Watch The Tailor of Panama For Free

From my favorite movies..

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

The first must-see film of the year.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I liked Tailor when it came out and I liked it at home in 2016. For those who find it problematic, please note that it's "based" on a John Le Carre novel. His novels are cynical. But why write more than this? I guess that's why I don't submit simple like-or-dislike reviews to IMDb. Back in 2002 several reviewers, probably seeing the 10-line requirement, got rolling and over and over again told readers what the plot was, who the main characters were, how the characters filled out the plot, how wonderfully ironic the movie was, and finally how much they either liked or disliked the movie. I read about a half dozen of those reviews and now know what the reviewers saw and thought of the movie. Voila. I also know now why the reviews are so like one another except in the fine points of liking or disliking. Why in heaven's name does IMDb insist on reviews stuffed with plot lines and character descriptions in one review after another after another? Also, some review readers and movie viewers may very well find such long-winded reviews to be spoilers because of all the detail reviewers have inserted. Oh yes, and Tailor was very atmospheric.

Successful in some Respects, Not so much in others, this Dark Satire on the Genre has Pierce Brosnan Showcasing a James Bond like British Spy who has Lost His Grace. The Name isn't "Bond", it's Osnard.Nothing about this MI6 Reject is Suave, Cool, or Charming in Any Way. He Bullies His way around Panama like a Rabid Dog that has No More Instincts. The Movie has Varying Tones of Violence and Sex, most are Lurid and Repulsive.The Script was Written by Acclaimed Spy Novelist John Le Carre from His Book. The Director is the Inconsistent John Boorman. The Film is Interesting and can Intrigue and Amuse if You let it, but some May Find it "in your face" and Anything but Subtle. It Works and then, it Doesn't. So the Overall Effectis Wanting but those Looking for something a bit Different in the Spy Genre will most Likely Enjoy its Edge and Forgive some Clumsiness. Worth a Watch to See Brosnan Riff On His James Bond Persona and there are Enough "out there" Scenes to Capture the Anti-Hollywood Cultists. But Mainstream Moviegoers and those Looking for more of the Same will Probably Not Appreciate the Messy Message in this Very Darkly Humored Display.

Pierce Brosnan, Gregory Rush, and Jamie Lee Curtis star in "The Tailor of Panama," a 2001 film based on the novel by John LeCarre.Brosnan plays Andrew Osnard, a British secret agent who had an affair with an ambassador's mistress and is exiled to Panama. He's supposed to locate some of the few Brits who live in Panama who may have information through their contacts on anything going on that the British should be concerned about.Osnard finds a tailor, Harold Pendel, an ex-con who works as a tailor in the tradition of a Saville Row older tailor who was his mentor and teacher. He says. Harry knows a lot of people - in fact, he makes suits for the President. Harry has a family, a wife (Curtis) and two children and a massive debt. Since Osnard will pay for information, Harry makes it up as he goes along, telling him that Panama's infrastructure and the poor are in desperate need, so the President is selling the Panama Canal to the Chinese.Between the two of them, Osnard and Harry end up with a story about former mercenaries out to get rid of the current government. They will work with the U.S. and British for $20 million.The film is reminiscent of "Our Man in Havana" not only in story but in the new Alec Guinness, Geoffrey Rush, who is beyond fantastic as Harry, a man who gets caught up in lies that started so innocently, just so he could pay his debt.For the people who didn't like this film, I really think you have to be a fan of classic movies to truly appreciate its satire and comic bent. And, like a true comedy or satire, it has moments of drama and truth.Brosnan plays the absolute scoundrel and womanizing Osnard to perfection. He's James Bond with none of the gadgets or class, and he is totally unlikeable.Beautifully done, this is an intelligent script, very well acted and directed, about what people will believe, and why. I loved what "Uncle Benny" (Harold Pinter) tells Harry: "Harry boy...a man who tells the truth is bound to be found out sooner or later. Try sincerity, that's a virtue. But truth, it's an affliction!"

The Tailor is a poor copy of a 1959 movie Our Man in Havana. The story is by Graham Greene and staring Alec Guinness. There are two points here.1. How could le Carre rip off Greene? (I have not read the le Carre book, so I don't know if he gives Greene credit.)2. How could this mediocre remake be taken as a good movie by anyone.Please watch the original then reply.xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx
