After the Sunset (2004): Dir: Brett Ratner / Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek, Woody Harrelson, Don Cheadle, Naomie Harris: Surprisingly fun and often amusing action comedy referencing retirement for a couple of thieves played by Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek. Problem is that Brosnan has one more heist to make despite Hayek's disapproval. The object of desire is a diamond aboard a cruise ship. Woody Harrelson plays an F.B.I. agent always outsmarted by Brosnan and the setup establishes this relationship. Now Harrelson throws the news regarding the diamond at Brosnan and a strange bond transpires. Detailed and funny with a conclusion that hilariously ties into the opening. This is one of Brett Ratner's better films. He previously made such low grade junk as Red Dragon and Rush Hour. Brosnan is not side stepping his James Bond role by much but he is still effective as a thief attempting one last shot at greatness before his believed satisfaction. Hayek is also effective despite the fact that she leads to an obvious conclusion. Harrelson brings humour as the foiled agent who is more on the ball than at first glance. Don Cheadle plays a gangster with an assignment for Brosnan. Naomie Harris plays a police constable whom the Harrelson aligns himself with before she learns some facts. It is simply just an action farce but with the humour it becomes much more. Score: 9 / 10

Although the James Bond movie franchise is among the most successful and popular ones ever, playing the title role doesn't automatically guarantee future success in other projects. Except Sean Connery, who made several huge hits and won an Oscar in 1988, none of the other actors ever managed to make an impact in the film industry again. George Lazenby. Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton all made appearances in small and obscure films, but ultimately they were never really heard of again. And now, it's Pierce Brosnan's turn to show that he is a good enough actor to leave the typecasting of the James Bond role, and appear in projects that appeal to the audience, and challenge him as a performer.While this is certainly not a film that requires a lot of acting from any of its actors, Pierce Brosnan turns his image around by 180 degrees, playing someone on the other side of the law, with a shabby beard and an addiction for stealing high-priced jewels. Silly and ridiculous at times, "After the Sunset" is nonetheless an entertaining heist flick, with one or the other surprise.Max and Lola Burdett are among the most successful jewel thieves the world has ever seen and for years they have been stealing some of the most valuable diamonds. After a really big heist, where they steal the diamond directly out of the car of FBI agent Stan Lloyd whom they put to sleep, the couple decides to retire and moves to the Bahamas. But eventually Lloyd shows up, convinced that Max is planning to steal the famous Napoleon III diamond from an exhibit on a ship that is docked in Nassau for three weeks. Max swears to Lola that he has no intention to steal the diamond, but she is reluctant to believe him, especially since he hasn't written his wedding vows yet, something he promised to do months ago already. After paying the exhibit the visit, Max is introduced to Henri Moore, one of the greatest criminals on the island, who needs the diamond to finance his so-called "humanitarian program". But Moore already has local policewoman Sophie after her, who teams up with Lloyd, to get her the attention of her superiors, to regain Lloyd's reputation, and to bring Burdett behind bars.Brett Ratner, who already directed the successful action-comedy film "Rush Hour" with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, makes another film in that genre, but this time can't seem to find the right balance between the two. Although I did laugh maybe half a dozen times, this is not really a film that aims for laughs, but on the other hand doesn't have enough action to compensate for the lack of them. So, this film is not exactly a great representative of its kind, but I would be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy it. Maybe it's the fact that this film could have easily been used as a promotional movie for tourism on the Bahamas and its all there, the alcoholic beverages, the white beaches, the tropical vegetation, and in the middle two fugitives appreciating a luxurious lifestyle. I doubt there is a better way to promote a career being a criminal rather than one in law enforcement, and although the entire premise is completely ludicrous, it's certainly not the first time the people on the wrong side of the law get to spend more money in a day than a federal agent gets on his paycheck for ten years. But the relationship between Agent Lloyd and Max Burdett, who are playing somewhat of a cat and mouse game, is funny and while I had a hard time believing that Lloyd is trying to arrest Max, it's absolutely hilarious how Max tries to bribe him into leaving him alone, like paying for the famous bridge suite in the Atlantis Hotel.Probably the best thing about this film is its array of usual suspects in unusual roles, all ahead of course Pierce Brosnan, who throws off the gentleman image that comes with playing James Bond. Leaving his shirts half unbuttoned and wearing a shabby gray beard, he is a lot of fun in this movie, and it's good to see him taking on some roles completely different than what he did before. Salma Hayek, who is thirteen years younger than Brosnan, looks incredibly hot and sexy in this film, and for the entire film I had absolutely no clue what took Max so long to write his wedding vows, considering he would be married to such a gorgeous woman. Woody Harrelson plays Agent Stan Lloyd, a colorful and instantly sympathetic character, and although nobody would probably want him to succeed to arrest Max and Lola, one can't help but feel sorry for him when he constantly laments about how the two make him look like a clown in front of his superiors, and especially, members of the opposite sex. Naomie Harris is a lot of fun as the native Bahamian cop, who has no problem proving her point to the people with a little more violence than necessary. And then there's Don Cheadle as a humanitarian island gangster boss, who is hilarious in his role, but unfortunately completely underused and rarely on screen.So, while "After the Sunset" might not be the biggest catch out there, it is quite a bit of fun, and not a complete waste of time. The actors take their roles with a lot of humor, and especially Brosnan, Harrelson, and for the five minutes he's in this film, Don Cheadle are absolutely hilarious to watch. Salma Hayek and Naomie Harris are both adorable, and the latter makes a good figure as the no-nonsense cop. If the money is short, or you can't get away from work, this film will have to do as a replacement for a vacation, and after sipping a margarita or two, you will totally have the island atmosphere in your home. Or at least almost.

With the cast on show (not to mention Salma Hayek looking particularly luscious) you'd have thought this film would have been an entertainment shoo-in, but it consistently fails to quite hit the mark. For a man who played Remington Steele, Pierce Brosnan looks surprisingly out-of-sorts as Max Burdett, the Sir Charles Lytton-type master thief who is nudged into retirement by his capable but long-suffering girlfriend and cohort (Hayek). Funnily enough, I thought Woody Harrelson, who makes a good fist of his role as the hapless FBI agent obsessed with catching Burdett, might have been better in the lead role, with someone like Chris Penn (sadly underused) playing his part.As others have said, the scenery is gorgeous, but the actors are burdened with a script which has some good ideas but fashions its characters woodenly. And, once again, Hollywood's addiction for sugary endings caused them to miss a much better one. Let me just say mine would have had Harrelson and Brosnan finding a note on the deck.My vote: 6 + 1 for Ms. Hayek, YMMV.

A man and a woman have heisted two diamonds out of a set of three and they once again humiliated an F.B.I. agent that was trying to stop them. The couple head to a beautiful island in the Carribeans to settle down. Soon the F.BI. agent finds them and accuses them of being there to steal the third diamond which will be temporarily on display there in a cruise ship. The couple didn't even know this information but become intrigued. Soon we find this is one major set-up, but a good heist man is always prepared for anything.This movie has been out about 6 years and I am just now getting around to seeing it and I actually thought it was a pretty good film. I have always been a fan of these types of films like Oceans 11,12 and 13 and films like the Bond movies with gadgets and tricks and eye candy. This movie had a little bit of comedy, a little bit of action and little bit of suspense making it a fun film to see.Brett Ratner did a really good job directing in my opinion and the production was all and all splendid. I liked the acting, Pierce Bronson does such a good job in the Bond films and this suited him well. I normally don't like Salma Hayek but she did well here too. F.B.I. agent played by Woody Harrelson was great and I think hes a great choice for this comedy/action role. Many smaller parts were done well by people like Don Cheadle, Chris Penn and Rex Linn.I think it's worth a watch for anyone who enjoys heist films. had some laughs and some decent action sequences. 4/10 stars
