A Good Bit of Fun Highly Enjoyable
From the first scene to the final cut this is a really by the numbers thriller but does not suffer at all it is fun good fun lots of scenery and just all round enjoyable. Dont need to think too hard and there are some pretty pointless scenes involving a shark and suntan lotion. The cast are all great although I feel that Don Cheadle was rather short changed. Not really worthy of a big screen outing but a great dvd release.

A good film for after the sunset.
This isn't a great film, seems to have slipped many by but when I saw a trailer and saw the location I decided to rent it out. This is a mix of films, heist, comedy, buddy and action rolled into one. Not the greatest film that any of the cast have been in, but it's quite good for for a rainy night in. Set on the tropical island of the Bahamas, and with the Atlantis complex one of the main locations, must go there one day, this film has an easy on the brain and eyes appeal. Especially wih Salma Hayek showing off her curves. The main story is that a couple of diamond thieves retire to the tropical island after a big heist which embarrassed the FBI yet again. However with a cruise ship set to dock at the island with one of the worlds rarest diamonds on board will Max be able to resist the urge to come out of retirement. Sit back and enjoy this film as it has a bit of something for everyone! 7/10

no brainer fun
An enjoyable easy going film that has some really funny moments. Woody Harrelson and Pierce Brosnan are excellent together. The babes and beaches are great, and if you can forgive the formulaic plot, you'll enjoy it. I think the male leads are looking good, despite some other reviewer's comments. This is no masterpiece, but not a bad rental for a cosy evening. My wife liked it too.

The view according to www.georgevader.co.uk
It's a tough life for Max (Pierce Brosnan) he lives in a luxury villa on a tropical paradise shacked up with Salam Heyek eating lobster every day, trouble is, he's a master thief and can't resist one last job to retire on.

After The Sunset really is a lamer, duller poor mans' Thomas Crown Affair, the dialoge is on the whole pretty dire:
"How was the tennis lesson?"
"Great! The instructor said I had a great backside"
"That's backswing"

Give me break, the film really has only two saving graces and they both belong to the stunning Salma Hayek as she parades around in a variety of bikini's and low cut tops which show her ample charms, pity she can't act for toffee and is wooden as her home D.I.Y.

The film has a twist but even this end's in a half-arsed fashion, an eye candy movie and a poor one at that.

After the Eclipse
For UK audiences at least, any association of 'Ratner' and 'jewellery' will bring to mind another word -- one which in this instance, is wholly appropriate.

A triumph of product placement, though nothing else, the hapless contrivances on display here might've been redeemed by the honesty of Brosnan's appearance -- he looks like Robinson Crusoe, and acts like he's still in shock at the prospect of being washed up on a desert island -- but unfortunately, Brosnan's performance also gives the impression of an actor whose career is all washed up anyway.

Harrelson, who has always done better work than Brosnan, and particularly when working with directors capable of exploiting his unique strengths (Forman, for example) is here marginally worse, though in defence of both actors it has to be said that a telephone book offers more challenge than this script. As for Don Cheadle, the less said the better, which seems to have been the director's idea anyway, given that Cheadle's role is as pointless as the dialog that accompanies it is witless.

As for Ratner -- not Gerald, but the director of this fiasco -- it might be best for all concerned if, like his namesake, he retires from the scene for a while, and then considers a new career. In retail.
