Synopsis

After The Sunset begins where most action capers end - with master thieves Max and Lola (Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek) escaping to a tropical paradise to enjoy the spoils of their labor: a successful last score. The thieves are content to settle into their new life after crime, until their nemesis from the FBI (Woody Harrelson) tracks them down, convinced that their “retirement” is actually a cover for their true intentions of pulling off a million-dollar heist on a nearby “diamond cruise.” The allure of the alleged scheme captures Max and Lola’s attention and sets off a cat and mouse game of friendship, suspicion and thievery.

Critics' reviews

"You'd have to search high and low to find screen lovers with less romantic chemistry than Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek (...) a jewel-heist frolic so stale it feels like a retread of a retread."

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"'After the Sunset' is skillfully made, but it's not necessary (...) On the other hand, should you see it, the time will pass pleasantly (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"An unalloyed delight, bright and breezy escapist fare that's pure entertainment, filled with romance, adventure, humor, action, suspense, beautiful scenery and beautiful people."

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"Not unpleasant, but you've seen it all before"

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"The movie grows progressively more routine (...) eventually collapsing under the weight of its own insignificance."

Mike Clark: USA Today
"The kind of glossy, Hollywood-forged waste of time that would depress even the most happily lackadaisical retiree."

Steven Rea: Philadelphia Inquirer
"As guilty pleasures go, this is as good as three rum punches on a hot afternoon at a beach bar. It won't do you any good, but hey, it's a lot of fun (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

William Thomas: Empire
"Though there are a few annoying moments when the actors get in the way of the scenery, mostly it succeeds."

Liam Lacey: The Globe and Mail
