Even though the literary adaptation was a spy thriller that released in between his appearances as James Bond in The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day, even the prospect of seeing Pierce Brosnan tackle a different type of espionage wasn’t enough to propel John Boorman’s The Tailor of Panama to mainstream success.
