series John le Carré
Directed by John Boorman | 2001
With Pierce Brosnan, Geoffrey Rush, Jamie Lee Curtis
"Sophisticated and witty... Boorman shrewdly captures [John le Carré's] bristling wit and stays true to his sharp critique of British and American arrogance and exploitation of underdeveloped countries."
—The Onion A.V. Club
With wit and charm, Brosnan and Rush deliver as two con men who attempt to out-deceive one another in this atmospheric thriller that delights in its disreputable characters. As the title character, Rush dubs Panama City a “Casablanca without heroes,” a city of tropical nightclubs and seedy bars in which old spies are sent to die in the wake of the Cold War. Brosnan takes a wry break from his stint as 007 to play an MI6 agent put out to pasture in Panama City—an unscrupulous antihero that Roger Ebert called “a nasty real-world James Bond.”
