Blitzen Trapper The Tailor

John LeCarre's spy thriller is brought to the big screen. A British spy is banished to Panama after having an affair with an ambassador's mistress. Once there he makes connection with a local tailor with a criminal past and connections to all of the top political and gangster figures in Panama. The tailor also has a wife, who works for the canal administrator, and a huge debt. The spy's mission is to learn what the President intends to do with the Panama Canal, but he's really in business for himself, blackmailing the tailor into spinning a fantastic tale about the canal being sold to China and former mercenaries ready to topple the current government.

In this seductive spy thriller based on the best-selling novel by John Le Carre, Academy Award-winner Geoffrey Rush delivers a dazzling performance as Harry Pendel, an ex- con turned tailor to the rich and infamous and married to smart and sexy Louisa (Jamie Lee Curtis). Directed by Academy Award - nominee John Boorman and set in steamy Panama, where nothing is what it seems, Andrew Osnard (Pierce Brosnan), a suave and ruthless British spy, entices Harry to eavesdropping on the powerful politicians he clothes. But Harry's talent for storytelling compels him to weave an elaborate tale that's not only taken as truth, but sets off a chain of events that threatens to destroy everything he treasures most in life.
