good movie, dark humor

The cunning of the British, wherever money interests are concerned, does not at its root care whether other countries are dictatorships or other forms of rulers. There are indeed many Americans who liberate the world for the ideal of democracy, but they often take it for granted. It was very funny to see that the American general was so excited when he sent troops to Panama, and then he was sad when he left Panama in anger.
The story in the film is somewhat familiar. Under the bureaucracy, in order to blindly cater to the above tastes, they will do whatever they can to fabricate work results...
In short, I like this movie with dark humor.

The Tailor of Panama quotes

  • Luxmore: Their leading man is one Michaelangelo Abraxas, known to many, I am sure, as the elusive Pimpernel of the Popular Movement Against General Manuel Noriega. Abraxas is a man of proven integrity, skilled at clandestine warfare. His second in command, but, I submit, his equal in skill and resolution, is code-named "Marta," another veteran of the anti-Noriega resistance. For cover purposes, she is employed as a counter receptionist by our own Panamanian head agent, the redoubtable "Bucket."

    Elliot: [Later] Do you think, personally, this Abraxas is Presidential material?

    Cavendish: Oh... Scotty...

    Luxmore: Abraxas is world-class. Courageous. Unsullied. Incorruptible. A man to dream of when you're shaping nations.

    [Cut to Abraxas packing an armful of liquor bottles as his escape "supplies."]

  • Gen. Dusenbaker: There's a missing star on our flag, gentlemen. It looks to me as if God is giving us a second chance here.
