The first must-see film of the year.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Am I crazy in love with this movie, After the Sunset, with Salma Hayek? Yes, yes I am. I'll say it's just my favorite movie. How's that? Salma Hayek is the hottest Bahama Mama ever! That's how! I mean wow! Salma Hayek has got to be the most impeccably beautiful Caribbean Queen in the Isles! Whichever island After the Sunset's paradise locale is, Salma Hayek is one scorching hot beach babe in a bikini, and I want to be there, and I want to go there and stay there with her, and be a permavacationer.All smooth flattery aside, After the Sunset is one of the most sexiest visual viewings, mostly attributed to scintillating hot Salma Hayek. After the Sunset does a marvelous job at fully showcasing Salma'a amazing body, and without her appearing nude. Salma's just perfect. Pierce Brosnan and Woody Harrelson are perfect for the viewing as well.After the Sunset has gorgeous visuals and breathtaking scenery. Beautiful people under gorgeous ocean sunrises and sunsets looking beautiful. It's so wonderfully colorful. I love it. After the Sunset is breezy fun. It has good humor and some good gadgetry to go along with its gorgeous, gorgeous visuals.Salma Hayek is so sexy. I really love this movie. After the Sunset is one of my faves!!!"Come on, let yourself go, have fun."'Turn 'round and let me see ya. Turn 'round and let me see ya. Ya boom, pineapple wine, ya dollar fifty all da time. Turn 'round and let me see ya. Turn 'round and let me see ya. Ya boom, pineapple wine, ya dollar fifty all da time. I got a new dance. Hot like pepperpot. From the old to the young gonna make your body rock. It's really easy. Easy peasy. You can do it anywhere, jump around like you don't care, singin'. Turn 'round and let me see ya. Turn 'round and let me see ya. Ya boom, pineapple wine, ya dollar fifty all da time.'

One of the simplest heists i've have ever seen on a movie. So simple story doesn't even care that much about the robbery itself and spend more time working on characters personalities and relationships. You don't have to think too much to understand the plot. So you can watch it while ur playing guitar that you still won't miss the point. And since robbery movies are usually complex and involves lots of details, it became a little confuse for me to rate it... but, as i've watched it in a moment i wasn't looking for complexity, i believe it worth 6/10.But of course i can't rate a movie just by my mood on that moment.And what i think that we should have was more max/stan scenes, cuz they were amazing acting together and really funny. Mainly for their bed scene. Producers and writers did a good job on funny scenes on this movie. But if they're great acting together, doesn't mean they overall acting is so good. for a Pirce Brosnan movie, really didn't see anything that good, neither from him or any other actor.Another issue is Salma Heyek. Yeah, she's hot (a lot), but his character is too much exaggerated. Hot thief girls are one of the biggest clichés on cinema. Boring.Photography is nice and clear and represent well a paradise location. I haven't payed much attention on soundtrack, so i can't opine.After the sunset ain't no brilliant heist movie, if you wanna something brilliant and complex, look for Leverage... If you want something to entertain your lonely afternoon, watch this.

If you're going to make a derivative and lazy by the numbers formula flick at least make the scenery and backdrop look good.The bulk of After the Sunset is filmed in the Bahamas.The amazing natural features, pleasant tones and breathtaking peaks, valleys and curves are indeed a worthwhile and pleasing distraction
but enough about Salma Hayek.I flicked through a few quotes after I watched After the Sunset the other night. The best (by far) said "Even with the presence of Salma Hayek the biggest boobs in After the Sunset are Woody Harrelson and Pierce Brosnan". Quite a few of the rest mentioned her beauty specifically as the only thing (or things) the film had going for it.I thought about this while was watching the film and only half agree, for while Salma is astonishing to look at and her cleavage should have received a supporting actor credit I actually think she was miscast here. At 5 foot tall if she's luck and blessed with a near perfect – if gravity defying – hourglass figure Salma is not at home in a bikini, I think a taller woman (eg: Charlise Theron or similar) would be more realistic as the fun loving beach babe in bikinis sidekick to Pierce Brosnan's smooth and erudite master crim.While Salma has held on to my #1 spot for 15 years so far, and seeing her in the bikini, catching some side-boob and generally watching her ass wobble about during the film was of great delight, but I don't think she was right for the film.All that said what is After the Sunset about? Well Max (Brosnan) and Lola (Hayek) are master jewel thieves, having stolen some of the most renowned and valuable diamonds in history.After an impossible and implausible heist in Los Angeles where they hoodwink FBI gem-escort Agent Lloyd (Woody Harrelson) with a hand held remote control device that allows them to commandeer a 4WD with Lloyd in it, the duo head to the Bahamas to see out to their retirement in the luxurious surroundings.Lola embraces the opportunity and spends her days with a variety of activities, and the nights at dinner with new found friends sourced from her daily adventures. Max on the other hand grows tired of the inactivity and refuses to pick up a hobby. He is bored. (Wait up isn't he with Salma Hayek? There's a hobby for the next couple decades right there!) After 6 months or so Agent Lloyd tracks them down, as the Bahamas are out of his jurisdiction he can't nab the pair – aside from that he has no evidence anyway – so he basically reintroduces himself to Max and starts stalking them day and night, shadowing their every move. Lloyd seems convinced that Max and Lola are merely biding their time until their last remaining conquest arrives in town, a diamond on display on a local cruise ship in town for one week only.Don Cheadle pops up as a local crim who thinks Max should steal the diamond for him 'for the good of the town' (though the best actor in the film gets only two scenes), and a local hot cop named Sophie appears so Woody has a reason for his name.You laughing yet? In essence the film is in three parts, the first ridiculous, the middle likable but bland and the final once again ridiculous. Aside from logic holes and miscasting (I've mentioned Salma but Woody Harrelson as a crack FBI agent?) there isn't much to hate about After the Sunset, but the fact is aside from Salma and the cop Sophie there isn't much to like.I just hope all involved got a tan.Final Rating – 5 / 10. Another Paris Hilton film, pretty and calculating on the outside, but vacant and devoid of substance or intelligence.

Not so much a heist movie as a comedy about an FBI agent (Harrelson) tracking a diamond thief (Brosnan) and his partner in crime and life (Hayek).Fantastic settings and a lot of shenanigans made this very easy viewing.We loved the opening scenes, and honestly this is one just to relax and envy the lifestyle to.The emphasis is strongly on fun, without too much silliness, and if you take it at that level it is a pretty good film.Definitely worth the rental; we really enjoyed it.
