An immensely undervalued spy thriller that deserved better comes out of exile on streaming

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.

Despite stellar reviews from critics and an all-star cast that numbered Geoffrey Rush, Jamie Lee Curtis, Brendan Gleeson, Dylan Baker, and the very first feature film appearance of a certain Daniel Radcliffe, the big screen stab at John le Carré’s darkly satirical novel could only muster $28 million at the box office on a $21 million budget to ensure the profit margins were minuscule.
