"The Tailor of Panama"
2001
Directed by John Boorman

John Le Carre collaborated on the screenplay for John Boorman's adaptation of his offbeat espionage caper. A witty, cleverly plotted film about a British spy (Pierce Brosnan), on the outs with superiors because of his affairs with the wives of powerful officials, and banished to Panama on a last chance assignment. He turns to a tailor (Geoffrey Rush) with a criminal past and political connections to be his main source. Trying to protect himself and others, the tailor concocts a conspiracy that the corrupt spy is more than happy to accept. With Jamie Lee Curtis and Brendan Gleeson.  109 minutes.
