User Review
Enjoyable Heist Film
Rating: 5/10
Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek are a pair of diamond thieves fighting
an endless cat and mouse game with an FBI agent (Woody Harrelson) until
they decide to retire and move down to the Bahamas. When a cruise ship
arrives carrying a priceless diamond, the chase begins anew.
After the Sunset is a pretty ordinary movie with some entertaining
moments and a lot of gorgeous scenery. It won't challenge the viewer at
all but it will offer a pretty enjoyable ride. The premise is fairly
simple and it is nothing really new. Brett Ratner keeps things easy and
safe as he moves the film at a nice pace. The opening scene is pretty
funny and nicely done. The middle is also pretty good yet a little dull
while the ending is just plain disappointing. I was expecting a nice
payoff but the ending was so simple. This didn't ruin the movie but it
doesn't warrant a viewing either.
The acting is pretty good and there are a few characters that keep the
film interesting. Pierce Brosnan stars as Max and he gives a good
performance. He sometimes looked a little tired but he usually seemed
to be having fun. Woody Harrelson is great as the FBI agent and he
looks to be having a great time. Salma Hayek offers great eye candy and
a decent performance. She doesn't really do anything special except
look very beautiful. Don Cheadle gives an okay performance though he
doesn't get a lot of screen time.
There are a few reasons why After the Sunset would make for a good
rental. First, the scenery looks great and eye candy never hurts.
Second, the chemistry between Brosnan and Harrelson is surprisingly
good and it is fun to watch them on screen. Third, those looking for
some escapist fun should find it with this film. Last but not least,
Salma Hayek looks amazing. I would have preferred a little more
substance but the movie proved to be entertaining. In the end, After
the Sunset isn't worth checking out in theaters but it could make for a
decent rental. Rating 6/10
