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

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

I had forgotten that thrillers could possibly be this much fun and rippingly intelligent at the same time.

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

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.

Not a great movie -- for adults only.

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

A wise, vivid, thoughtfully textured film.

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

A literate and entertaining comic thriller.
