nicholls_les Pierce Brosnan plays Max Burdett a master thief trying to achieve his last big score. FBI agent Stan Lloyd played by Woody Harrelson promises to capture him but is Max to clever for him?Shot in the beautiful Bahamas with lots of lovely scenery helps make this an enjoyable watch with lots to keep your attention. Both the story and action are well acted and directed and yes there is a twist in the end. Mr Brosnan is good as usual but has a really great supporting cast. Salma Hayek, Woody Harrelson, Don Cheadle and Naomie Harris are all really good.I wont spoil the ending but yes there is a twist in the end.
edwagreen Awful Pierce Brosnan-Woody Harrelson film where Brosnan and girlfriend Selma Hayak retire to the Jamaica Islands after a career of stealing. They're pursued by agent Harrelson, who apparently has more on his mind than capturing Brosnan.Brosnan twice traps Harrelson in a sealed car at the film's beginning and end.Harrelson does steal the movie here with his devilish ways and is a sight to be seen.The picture is basically done in by some very bad writing. It can become confusing at times;especially, when Don Cheadle enters as a local gangster who tries to coax Brosnan into stealing a Napoleon diamond.There is some interesting under the water scenes in a rather dull, tedious production.
oneguyrambling If you're going to make a derivative and lazy by the numbers formula flick at least make the scenery and backdrop look good.The bulk of After the Sunset is filmed in the Bahamas.The amazing natural features, pleasant tones and breathtaking peaks, valleys and curves are indeed a worthwhile and pleasing distraction… but enough about Salma Hayek.I flicked through a few quotes after I watched After the Sunset the other night. The best (by far) said "Even with the presence of Salma Hayek the biggest boobs in After the Sunset are Woody Harrelson and Pierce Brosnan". Quite a few of the rest mentioned her beauty specifically as the only thing (or things) the film had going for it.I thought about this while was watching the film and only half agree, for while Salma is astonishing to look at and her cleavage should have received a supporting actor credit I actually think she was miscast here. At 5 foot tall if she's luck and blessed with a near perfect – if gravity defying – hourglass figure Salma is not at home in a bikini, I think a taller woman (eg: Charlise Theron or similar) would be more realistic as the fun loving beach babe in bikinis sidekick to Pierce Brosnan's smooth and erudite master crim.While Salma has held on to my #1 spot for 15 years so far, and seeing her in the bikini, catching some side-boob and generally watching her ass wobble about during the film was of great delight, but I don't think she was right for the film.All that said what is After the Sunset about? Well Max (Brosnan) and Lola (Hayek) are master jewel thieves, having stolen some of the most renowned and valuable diamonds in history.After an impossible and implausible heist in Los Angeles where they hoodwink FBI gem-escort Agent Lloyd (Woody Harrelson) with a hand held remote control device that allows them to commandeer a 4WD with Lloyd in it, the duo head to the Bahamas to see out to their retirement in the luxurious surroundings.Lola embraces the opportunity and spends her days with a variety of activities, and the nights at dinner with new found friends sourced from her daily adventures. Max on the other hand grows tired of the inactivity and refuses to pick up a hobby. He is bored. (Wait up isn't he with Salma Hayek? There's a hobby for the next couple decades right there!) After 6 months or so Agent Lloyd tracks them down, as the Bahamas are out of his jurisdiction he can't nab the pair – aside from that he has no evidence anyway – so he basically reintroduces himself to Max and starts stalking them day and night, shadowing their every move. Lloyd seems convinced that Max and Lola are merely biding their time until their last remaining conquest arrives in town, a diamond on display on a local cruise ship in town for one week only.Don Cheadle pops up as a local crim who thinks Max should steal the diamond for him 'for the good of the town' (though the best actor in the film gets only two scenes), and a local hot cop named Sophie appears so Woody has a reason for his name.You laughing yet? In essence the film is in three parts, the first ridiculous, the middle likable but bland and the final once again ridiculous. Aside from logic holes and miscasting (I've mentioned Salma but Woody Harrelson as a crack FBI agent?) there isn't much to hate about After the Sunset, but the fact is aside from Salma and the cop Sophie there isn't much to like.I just hope all involved got a tan.Final Rating – 5 / 10. Another Paris Hilton film, pretty and calculating on the outside, but vacant and devoid of substance or intelligence.
intelearts Not so much a heist movie as a comedy about an FBI agent (Harrelson) tracking a diamond thief (Brosnan) and his partner in crime and life (Hayek).Fantastic settings and a lot of shenanigans made this very easy viewing.We loved the opening scenes, and honestly this is one just to relax and envy the lifestyle to.The emphasis is strongly on fun, without too much silliness, and if you take it at that level it is a pretty good film.Definitely worth the rental; we really enjoyed it.
