After the Sunset may not be the greatest jewel-heist caper comedy ever made, but it sure is easy on the eyes. Shifting back into his crowd-pleasing Rush Hour mode, director Brett Ratner kicks off the action with a rousing chase scene that pretty much describes the entire film: utter nonsense, but adequately enjoyable. Things get very sunny thereafter, when FBI agent Woody Harrelson lands in the Bahamas to track down ace diamond thief Pierce Brosnan and his lovely accomplice Salma Hayek, whom he suspects of planning their next big heist on a cruise ship. A Bahamian gangster (Don Cheadle) wants in on the action, and the whole thing's about as fluffy as an Elmo doll and just as harmless, especially when you consider Hayek's revealing wardrobe (which, thankfully, distracts from Brosnan's less-than-Bond-like physique). There's an abundance of witty banter between everyone, and the tropical locations make After the Sunset a balmy, vicarious vacation. Critics weren't exactly kind to this breezy dose of popcorn entertainment, but it's an agreeable time-killer and an instant cure for seasonal affective disorder, even if the comedic chemistry leaves something to be desired. --Jeff Shannon

 Classic heist story with beautiful backdrop July 12, 2009
Jerrod (Austin, TX)
This is one of my favorite beach-set movies. It involves and intricate jewel heist and is set in one of my favorite places in the world: Nassau, Bahamas. There's great scenery, interesting characters and a sub plot involving a local gangster.

The Seven Seas Navigator is docking in Paradise Island in the Bahamas for a solid week...They're having a nice promotion for the maiden voyage, calling it the Diamond Cruise: a gem exhibit whose star attraction is the third Napoleon Diamond... It's, allegedly, the only priceless remaining 'cute little rock' Max Burdett and Lola Cirillo haven't stolen...
The unlocking Special Agent Stan Lloyd of the FBI (Woody Harrelson) suspects that the two are planning to purloin it... But how could they with six cameras plus 24-hour rotating guards, unbreakable polycarbonate display?
Max (Pierce Brosnan) knows he can easily clip Napoleon III and make Lloyd look like a jerk again... For him, it's more about the challenge and the alibi--that's his work of art... But he affirms that the two are a couple of retirees trying to enjoy the island life...
The gorgeous Lola (Salma Hayek) knows that, with Max, they went out at the top of their game, undefeated... They were great together... But, now, she feels it is the best time to quit... For her, now, the challenge is to find joy in simple things, as a life filled with sunsets...
Lloyd was chasing Max for seven years--ever since the first Napoleon Diamond went missing... That day, he got to the scene, and took a few shots at the getaway car... Next day, a bottle of champagne arrives at FBI Headquarters with a note saying, "Aim for the tires next time."
In the island, Lloyd teams up with the beautiful Sophie (Naomie Harris) a local intriguing cop who requires a big arrest...
On the scene also appears Henri Mooré (Don Cheadle)--the biggest gangster on the island--who affirms to Max that the impoverished people of the island need his help, and that a cash injection in tens of millions of dollars would relieve the entire Caribbean... So, he suggests to Max a partnership... He would give him what he doesn't have: access to the marina, the crews, rotation schedules, whatever he needs...
With picturesque sunsets, this colorful caper comedy has plenty of beauty, fun and humor...
