Product: Tailor of Panama [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 1.0
Embarassing!
Mind-numbing bore that hardly ever raises its energy level above that of a dull thud. A-list actors like Jamie Lee Curtis, Pierce Brosnan and Catherine McCormack give inexplicable performances in this supposedly political thriller about a crooked intelligence agent (Brosnan) assigned to Panama who uses the political vulnerability of the Panama Canal for his own personal gain. Geoffrey Rush is the innocent tailor whom he befriends and recruits for high-profile contacts, and Curtis is Rush's wife who basically does nothing much more than flash her breasts for two hours. Don't ask me what McCormack's role is all about because I never quite figured it out. Both the plot and Brosnan's character ride one monotoned wavelength for the entire film, and then it's over before you've even felt it begin. What the film tries to convince you are plot twists and turns are really just incidents that hardly conceal a nothing plot. Rush is the real victim here, as he is a very inconsistent actor who this time gives a great performance but in a really bad film.
