Panama Review: Cole Hauser and Mel Gibson Star in Guilty Pleasures Eighties Actioner

Panama is a late eighties actioner loaded with drugs, sex, and rock 'n roll. Cole Hauser and Mel Gibson star as CIA spooks negotiating an arms deal in the narco-state before the US takedown of Manuel Noriega. The entire film feels like an episode of Miami Vice on steroids. Scantily clad women with spritzed bangs and open-shirted drug lords in pastel pants kill for the almighty dollar. The gunplay is poorly edited, but I got a guilty pleasure kick out of the sordid and bloody narrative.
