As far as sizzle goes, "After The Sunset" is no "Casablanca!" I'm afraid it's not even "It Takes a Thief" — a genre of film to which "Sunset" rightly belongs and which was defined by the legendary Cary Grant, with the beautiful love interest — Grace Kelly. "Sunset" has an impressive cast including Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle of "Hotel Rwanda" fame; alternatively chilling, or comedic Woody Harrelson; Salma Hayek — a major, but unrecognized talent who starred and executive produced, in both "In the Time of the Butterflies" and "Frieda," the latter garnering her an Academy Award nomination. This impressive ensemble was led by the Irish prince of charm, Pierce Brosnan who earlier portrayed as the mysterious detective Remington Steele and rose to portray James Bond in four films. Regrettably, Brosnan postpones his performance at the film's start and never really starts it. He is unbelievably passionless in his portrayal as Max, the lover of Lola, played by Salma Hayek, the Mexican-Lebanese beauty who is secretly desired by most of the world's male population. She deserves more and could find it almost anywhere as her smouldering eyes induce passion! With the jewel thief plot "Sunset" could well be entitled "It Takes a Thief: The Caribbean." Shot primarily in The Bahamas, where the film shameless plugs South African hotel magnates Sol Kerzner's "Atlantis Paradise Island" property. I'd have to rate this film lower, but for unrelenting beauty of Salma Hayek who makes it bearable to sit through the entire dvd with special feature footage that shows Hayek made-up as a whiskered bum spontaniously surprising her mother who was visiting the set. Please Pierce give some more shake the next time around, this performance was definitely stirred.Read full review
This movie Rocks! There is action, suspense, romance & overall, this movie is a "10" in my book! Woody Harrelson plays an FBI agent that can't let go of the fact that super thief Pierce Brosnan cannot be pinned down & caught! It drives him to show up on the tropical paradise island that Pierce & Salma Hayek share a beach front home at. He sets a trap to see if he can get Pierce to try one last attempt to come out of retirement. He wants to catch him & believes he has the fool proof plan. This show is excellent & kept my attention throught out! I didn't leave the room at all during the show, it was that good!
This was a very good show with action, adventure, drama & romance. This movie held my attention also because of the beautiful scenery. The story line was quite good. Woody Harrelson isn't my favorite actor, but he did a good job with the character he played, an FBI agent. Pierce Brosnan is a retired thief who is lured out of retirement for one more heist. His love interest & partner in crime is Salma Hyak. I thought this show was worth the watch.
Love all of the stars in this movie. It is cute and funny and entertaining for both male and female viewers.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I purchased it after I got to watch some of it on tv, but didn't see all and wanted to. The characters in this movie were very real and compelling you toward making life easy. Specially about the land and sand. I enjoy the fact that I have dreams and this movie had a lot to do with dreams and relaxation. The only family drawback to this movie is the sex and the stealing. Stealing is not a past time that I feel is appropriate. At least not in my household.
