This film contains many standard elements of a spy thriller - the deceit, intrigue and lies, the twists and turns, the sex and money. It's a fairly typical story of a holiday in Panama, I'm sure.
What lifts this above the ordinary is the gentle pacing - the story doesn't pretend to be something it's not, but glides along, with the actors left to do their jobs. Pierce Brosnan is a lovable rogue, Geoffrey Rush convincing as the tailor, and Jamie Lee Curtis adds to the mix very nicely indeed.
Quirky, but good stuff.
