Product Description
From Amazon.com
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

This review is from: After the Sunset (DVD)
This is a delightful heist movie that's fun, funny, sexy and beautiful to look at. What more could you want from a movie? I'd give it 5 stars, but I guess it's not really Oscar worthy, but you've got beautiful settings and photography, two gorgeous stars and a nice little twist at the end. The alternate ending was great, too. Enjoy!

2.5 Stars: Forgettable fluff, but great cinimatography and a couple laughs,
By
This review is from: After the Sunset (DVD)
After the Sunset is supposed to be a fun romantic comedy, but it mostly falls flat as result of a medicore plot and limited character development. So, in my view, it is worth a rental not a purchase.The only thing that saves it from not even being worth renting is the beautiful cinimatography. Also, a pretty good performance by Harrelson (even if he somewhat mis-cast as an incompetent FBI agent, and he appears to be having a good time in spite of the audience) and the presence of Hayek help make it passable. Brosnan feels like he phoned in this performance, likely sensing (correctly) that it was a "throw-away" movie.
