Feel good heist movie with former James Bond Pierce Brosnan and the ever gorgeous Salma Hayek. It really is a beach variant of Oceans Eleven: add sunshine, cocktails, tropcical islands and you have got the ingredients of "After the Sunset". Seen it many times now and it is the ideal popcornmovie and datemovie. Feels like a throwaway but it actually has got a solid and surprising funny story. Acting is great. Soundtrack great. Sunny beaches are lovely. And so is Salma Hayek. Just dream away and have a good laugh while watching it. Lovely heist comedy. Smaller endnote: the soundtrack copied some themes from the Bourne movies and even from the classical composer Gorecki. But that's just insider fun.

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.

THE GOOD - (1) A very colorful film, with wonderful bright colors from the Bahamas scenery; (2) an interesting story right from the get-go; (3) originality in the story; and (4) yes, to be honest, Hayak's figure, which is seen in abundance throughout the film. She knows it's good and isn't shy about showing it, and (5) overall a good mixture of crime, comedy, romance and suspense and just right amount of time at just under 100 minutes.THE BAD - (1) Insulting gratuitous sex and really stupid sexual dialog at times; (2) once again subversive Hollywood making the FBI character a moron, for the most part; (3) some Rambo mentality (bad guys miss from close range, good guys never miss, etc.).It's an outlandish story but don't analyze it for credibility or you'd be turned off and quit after 10 minutes. Just go along for the ride and enjoy the entertainment....and entertaining it is!

A man and a woman have heisted two diamonds out of a set of three and they once again humiliated an F.B.I. agent that was trying to stop them. The couple head to a beautiful island in the Carribeans to settle down. Soon the F.BI. agent finds them and accuses them of being there to steal the third diamond which will be temporarily on display there in a cruise ship. The couple didn't even know this information but become intrigued. Soon we find this is one major set-up, but a good heist man is always prepared for anything.This movie has been out about 6 years and I am just now getting around to seeing it and I actually thought it was a pretty good film. I have always been a fan of these types of films like Oceans 11,12 and 13 and films like the Bond movies with gadgets and tricks and eye candy. This movie had a little bit of comedy, a little bit of action and little bit of suspense making it a fun film to see.Brett Ratner did a really good job directing in my opinion and the production was all and all splendid. I liked the acting, Pierce Bronson does such a good job in the Bond films and this suited him well. I normally don't like Salma Hayek but she did well here too. F.B.I. agent played by Woody Harrelson was great and I think hes a great choice for this comedy/action role. Many smaller parts were done well by people like Don Cheadle, Chris Penn and Rex Linn.I think it's worth a watch for anyone who enjoys heist films. had some laughs and some decent action sequences. 4/10 stars
