After The Sunset Details

A jewel thief is tempted to come out of retirement in this pleasantly entertaining Caribbean-set caper. Pierce Brosnan plays suave crook Max Burdett, whose idyllic life in a Bahamian paradise — shared with partner-in-crime Lola (Salma Hayek) — is jeopardised when he sees the chance to steal a famed diamond. Burdett must also contend with his old nemesis, FBI agent Stanley Lloyd (Woody Harrelson), who doesn't believe Burdett can retire, and so a seemingly endless game of cat-and-mouse ensues. Rush Hour director Brett Ratner offers perhaps more than enough tasteless jokes about suntan-oil application and scenes of Hayek in skimpy swimwear, but, luckily, the cast's playfulness works within the predictable plot rather than against it.

The type of crime caper that Brosnan did rather better in his remake of The Thomas Crown Affair; the pace here is geriatric.
