A broad, ribald circus flagrantly in love with the English language, The Tailor bustles with swaggering, jubilant showmanship.

[Boorman] manages to strike exactly the right tone, which is somewhere between irony and amused incredulity.

A literate and entertaining comic thriller.

It doesn't feel like a normal espionage thriller; it feels much, much better.

Funny, frisky and always on the right side of plausible. Mission accomplished.

Not a great movie -- for adults only.

If you think the spy-thriller genre has been streamlined and spoofed and subverted until nothing new can be done to it, think again.

Boorman has crafted a witty, classy and richly enjoyable morality play, which skewers the mercenary self-interest behind Anglo-American imperialism almost as an afterthought.

Brosnan... completely alters the tone of the movie with every scene he's in, bringing a level of smarminess that makes it far more interesting than just a bureaucratic spy thriller
