After the Sunset may not be the greatest jewel-heist caper comedy ever made, but it sure is easy on the eyes. Shifting back into his crowd-pleasing Rush Hour mode, director Brett Ratner kicks off the action with a rousing chase scene that pretty much describes the entire film: utter nonsense, but adequately enjoyable. Things get very sunny thereafter, when FBI agent Woody Harrelson lands in the Bahamas to track down ace diamond thief Pierce Brosnan and his lovely accomplice Salma Hayek, whom he suspects of planning their next big heist on a cruise ship. A Bahamian gangster (Don Cheadle) wants in on the action, and the whole thing's about as fluffy as an Elmo doll and just as harmless, especially when you consider Hayek's revealing wardrobe (which, thankfully, distracts from Brosnan's less-than-Bond-like physique). There's an abundance of witty banter between everyone, and the tropical locations make After the Sunset a balmy, vicarious vacation. Critics weren't exactly kind to this breezy dose of popcorn entertainment, but it's an agreeable time-killer and an instant cure for seasonal affective disorder, even if the comedic chemistry leaves something to be desired. --Jeff Shannon
Description
Pierce Brosnan plays a master thief who, after an incredibly successful heist, moves to the Bahamas with his beautiful partner in crime. But the cat and mouse games begins again when an FBI agent, his old nemesis, returns convinced he is going for the biggest score of all, the famous Napoleon diamond.

I thought we retired, Max.......2007-08-30
This movie starts out like a James Bond film with an action packed scene before the credits roll. Pierce Brosnan and Selma Hayek play a couple of high tech jewel thieves that have stolen 2 of the 3 Napoleon diamonds. They retire to the Bahamas, only to find the third Napoleon diamond to be on display on a cruise ship. Do they come out of retirement? This is where the fun and thrill ride begins. Woody Harrelson plays the FBI who kind of has a friendship with Pierce. This film is action packed and even had some comedy in it. I highly recommend it, especially for Brosnan and Bond fans.
Just One Last Heist............2007-03-10
Nice film to pass the time, but nothing to write home about as the saying goes..... A bit on the slow side too.
Just your average diamond heist film! Take two diamond thieves, played by Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayak, out to steal one last diamond before going into retirement to a tropical island for the rest of their lives.....
Woody Harrelson plays an FBI Agent out to capture Pierce Brosnan's and Salma Hayak's character's in the act of stealing a diamond, but fails miserable & is suspended from the FBI. Harrelson catches up with them in attempts to capture them in the act of stealing a rather large diamond one last time!
lightweight but entertaining.......2007-02-04
A couple of good looking jewel thieves, a funny FBI guy, a beautiful setting in the bahamas and a halfway decent plot make this a pretty decent film. Brosnan and Woody Harrelson steal the show. Selma Hayek is gorgeous but her acting in this seems wooden to me. Don Cheadle in a small supporting role as a gangster in the islands from Detroit.
This isn't a classic but based on all of those contributing factors you could do worse than spend a couple of hours watching this.
Great movie to see after the sunset.......2007-01-27
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.
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.
If you wanna relax and have a bit of fun - this movie is for you.
A Satisfying Romance and Clever Heist Movie.......2007-01-13
Marketed as a clever heist movie set in an exotic locale, "After the Sunset" is also a satisfying romance with two idealized lovers (Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek) who let greed, dishonesty, and complacency come between them. These lovers happen to be master jewel thieves enjoying their spoils in the tropics as their relationship reaches a turning point.
Filmed on location in Paradise Island, Bahamas, "After the Sunset" begins as they finish their final score in which they steal the second of the three famous Napoleon diamonds. However, a persistent FBI agent (the unfortunately miscast Woody Harrelson) has been pursuing them for seven years, and becomes convinced that they are plotting another heist, rather than a romantic interlude and an early retirement.
Because the agent has no jurisdiction in the Caribbean country, he teams with a local police officer (Naomie Harris) and sets out to catch the couple. A local man, (Don Cheadle), is a transplanted Detroit gangster also intent on acquiring the third diamond. A convenient parallel romance between the agent and the police officer seems like an implausible scenario concocted by the screenwriters merely for laughs.
The relationship between the Brosnan and Hayek characters, however, feels genuine. Although their circumstances are extreme, their struggles to remain a couple reflect problems in off-screen romances everywhere. Not only is the audience unsure whether they will stay together, but we're unsure whether they should ever have gotten together in the first place.
The plot twists and turns combined with the two beautiful co-stars in a breathtaking environment make this an exciting film to watch. While the story stretches the limits of believability, it's an entertaining 90 minutes of pure PG-13 escapism.

Description
Michael Gordon, Chief Military Correspondent for The New York Times, discusses the military assault on Fallujah. Also, After the Sunset is a new multi-genre heist film starring Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek, and Woody Harrelson. They join Charlie and director Brett Ratner at the table to talk about the film. Then, MTV News Correspondent Gideon Yago talks about young people and politics.
Description
Nearly 63 years after its conception, the drive-in theater stands as one of America's last great icons. It represents an entire era of American culture ranging from the space race and the automobile to the emergence of the teenage and movies like Beach Blanket Bingo. But now, in the age of the multiplex and bottled water, the drive-in theater is nearly gone... it's a dinosaur. With hopes of better understanding the past, filmmaker Jon Bokenkamp leads his ragtag crew across the American West. Using drive-in theaters as their map, these four young men search for a simpler time. Talking to those who built and lived the drive-in theater, they give a true picture of what the era of the outdoor theater was all about. Whether you have ever been to a drive-in or not, still frequent a remaining one, or simply recall with fondness those starry nights of popcorn and two-bit love, you'll find After Sunset to be a unique new film about one of the great icons of 20th-century ! America. Featuring interviews with director John Carpenter, author Michael Wallis, Hollywood movie mogul Samuel Z. Arkoff (producer of Beach Blanket Bingo), and satirist and social critic John Bloom (aka Joe Bob Briggs)."A wonderful evocation of a distinct piece of Americana." - Leonard Maltin, film critic
Customer Reviews:
Part Drive-in, Part Road Trip.......2007-04-26
I was a bit disappointed in this DVD because it is part road trip, and part documentary of Drive-ins. If I wanted a road trip movie I would buy one with some comedy. There are some great parts including an interview with John Carpenter and some of the drive-in owners. To much of it to suit me shows how 4 guys cross the country in an old Cadillac. That is not exactly what I was after. I do not recommend this if you are mainly interested in Drive-ins unless you are trying to get all you can find on them. You will get some decent photos, a few good shots of drive-ins still operating in the mid 90s, and some of the old commercials. So not an entire waste, but I think it is overpriced for what you get.

A Bahamian gangster (Don Cheadle) wants in on the action, and the whole thing's about as fluffy as an Elmo doll and just as harmless, especially when you consider Hayek's revealing wardrobe (which, thankfully, distracts from Brosnan's less-than-Bond-like physique). There's an abundance of witty banter between everyone, and the tropical locations make After the Sunset a balmy, vicarious vacation. Critics weren't exactly kind to this breezy dose of popcorn entertainment, but it's an agreeable time-killer and an instant cure for seasonal affective disorder, even if the comedic chemistry leaves something to be desired. --Jeff Shannon

I thought we retired, Max.......2007-08-30
This movie starts out like a James Bond film with an action packed scene before the credits roll. Pierce Brosnan and Selma Hayek play a couple of high tech jewel thieves that have stolen 2 of the 3 Napoleon diamonds. They retire to the Bahamas, only to find the third Napoleon diamond to be on display on a cruise ship. Do they come out of retirement? This is where the fun and thrill ride begins. Woody Harrelson plays the FBI who kind of has a friendship with Pierce. This film is action packed and even had some comedy in it. I highly recommend it, especially for Brosnan and Bond fans.
Just One Last Heist............2007-03-10
Nice film to pass the time, but nothing to write home about as the saying goes..... A bit on the slow side too.
Just your average diamond heist film! Take two diamond thieves, played by Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayak, out to steal one last diamond before going into retirement to a tropical island for the rest of their lives.....
Woody Harrelson plays an FBI Agent out to capture Pierce Brosnan's and Salma Hayak's character's in the act of stealing a diamond, but fails miserable & is suspended from the FBI. Harrelson catches up with them in attempts to capture them in the act of stealing a rather large diamond one last time!
lightweight but entertaining.......2007-02-04
A couple of good looking jewel thieves, a funny FBI guy, a beautiful setting in the bahamas and a halfway decent plot make this a pretty decent film. Brosnan and Woody Harrelson steal the show. Selma Hayek is gorgeous but her acting in this seems wooden to me. Don Cheadle in a small supporting role as a gangster in the islands from Detroit.
This isn't a classic but based on all of those contributing factors you could do worse than spend a couple of hours watching this.
Great movie to see after the sunset.......2007-01-27
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.
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.
If you wanna relax and have a bit of fun - this movie is for you.
A Satisfying Romance and Clever Heist Movie.......2007-01-13
Marketed as a clever heist movie set in an exotic locale, "After the Sunset" is also a satisfying romance with two idealized lovers (Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek) who let greed, dishonesty, and complacency come between them. These lovers happen to be master jewel thieves enjoying their spoils in the tropics as their relationship reaches a turning point.
Filmed on location in Paradise Island, Bahamas, "After the Sunset" begins as they finish their final score in which they steal the second of the three famous Napoleon diamonds. However, a persistent FBI agent (the unfortunately miscast Woody Harrelson) has been pursuing them for seven years, and becomes convinced that they are plotting another heist, rather than a romantic interlude and an early retirement.
Because the agent has no jurisdiction in the Caribbean country, he teams with a local police officer (Naomie Harris) and sets out to catch the couple. A local man, (Don Cheadle), is a transplanted Detroit gangster also intent on acquiring the third diamond. A convenient parallel romance between the agent and the police officer seems like an implausible scenario concocted by the screenwriters merely for laughs.
The relationship between the Brosnan and Hayek characters, however, feels genuine. Although their circumstances are extreme, their struggles to remain a couple reflect problems in off-screen romances everywhere. Not only is the audience unsure whether they will stay together, but we're unsure whether they should ever have gotten together in the first place.
The plot twists and turns combined with the two beautiful co-stars in a breathtaking environment make this an exciting film to watch. While the story stretches the limits of believability, it's an entertaining 90 minutes of pure PG-13 escapism.
