Product: Tailor of Panama [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 5.0
James Bond for Latin Americans or what ...
I saw this DVD last night and really enjoyed it, in spite of the fact that Pierce Brosnan plays one of the main characters in the movie. You see as far as I'm concerned the only James Bond ever has to be Sean Connery, forget Moore and Brosnan .....The movie is a neat little anti-Bond story in that Brosnan arrives in Panama, shortly after Noriega and before the canal was turned over. Brosnan, as a member of the Brit secret service need to make contact with a Brit ex-patriate to help him move around the city and get enough truth into his scam to rip off both the Brit and the US goverment for milions in bribes. The scam is to convince everyone that there is a 'silent opposition' that is left wing leaning and ready to overthrow the government of Panama and turn the canal over to the Chinese.....The movie is great, BUT, unless you have been in Panama city or enjoy the Latin environment this movie will probably bore you to death so don't buy it ... OK
