Rating of 3 stars out of 5 Radio Times

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.

Halliwell's Film Guide

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

Time Out

Like the more heavyweight Heat, this draws drama from the uneasy relationship between cop and criminal.... Read more on www.timeout.com

Rated - 5 starsPierce Brosnan.... Gotta watch it!

A customer from wigan , 19/12/2004

You have to watch this if your a James Bond fan. Also if you liked The Thomas Crown Affair. Brosnan is fantastic as a jewel thief with Salma Hayek @ his side, they make a realistic couple that just slot together like 2 halves of a lost diamond. Great from start to finish.

JohnnyTooBad from West Midlands , 07/04/2005

Loved this film. All of the actors work well together but the interplay between Harrelson and Brosnan is just hilarious. Thorougly charming and a decent plotline kept me engaged throughout. Neat ending too.

Bug1 from Hants , 18/04/2005

A surprisingly funny movie for those interested in escaping the rigours of their day. Easy on the eye (Salma & Pierce) yet poigniant and exciting in parts.

Much better than expected!

2 Cool from Gravesend , 30/12/2004

This really is a TV film. The acting is ok and Salma is beautiful as usual.

Brosnan and Salma are a couple of diamond thieves that decide to retire but then an opportunity arises for stealing another diamond and Brosnan can't resist.

This really is an average film with an average script. If you like Brosnan or Salama it's worth watching. If you need a good story line try something else.

Rated - 3 starsWill kill two hours....

Stuart A. from United Kingdom , 05/07/2005

Woody Harrelson is as energetic as ever, with Piers trying very hard not to over 'Bond' it. Quite funny and beats anything that would be on terrestrial TV any night of the week. Preserve your IQ and watch this as opposed to mind numbing soap opera's / reality TV shows.

Easy weekend type of film; great for rainy, lazy Sunday evenings. Not groundbreaking or Oscar winning, but entertainment nonetheless.
