Reviews
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Python Hyena After the Sunset (2004): Dir: Brett Ratner / Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek, Woody Harrelson, Don Cheadle, Naomie Harris: Surprisingly fun and often amusing action comedy referencing retirement for a couple of thieves played by Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek. Problem is that Brosnan has one more heist to make despite Hayek's disapproval. The object of desire is a diamond aboard a cruise ship. Woody Harrelson plays an F.B.I. agent always outsmarted by Brosnan and the setup establishes this relationship. Now Harrelson throws the news regarding the diamond at Brosnan and a strange bond transpires. Detailed and funny with a conclusion that hilariously ties into the opening. This is one of Brett Ratner's better films. He previously made such low grade junk as Red Dragon and Rush Hour. Brosnan is not side stepping his James Bond role by much but he is still effective as a thief attempting one last shot at greatness before his believed satisfaction. Hayek is also effective despite the fact that she leads to an obvious conclusion. Harrelson brings humour as the foiled agent who is more on the ball than at first glance. Don Cheadle plays a gangster with an assignment for Brosnan. Naomie Harris plays a police constable whom the Harrelson aligns himself with before she learns some facts. It is simply just an action farce but with the humour it becomes much more. Score: 9 / 10
lourensini One of the simplest heists i've have ever seen on a movie. So simple story doesn't even care that much about the robbery itself and spend more time working on characters personalities and relationships. You don't have to think too much to understand the plot. So you can watch it while ur playing guitar that you still won't miss the point. And since robbery movies are usually complex and involves lots of details, it became a little confuse for me to rate it... but, as i've watched it in a moment i wasn't looking for complexity, i believe it worth 6/10.But of course i can't rate a movie just by my mood on that moment.And what i think that we should have was more max/stan scenes, cuz they were amazing acting together and really funny. Mainly for their bed scene. Producers and writers did a good job on funny scenes on this movie. But if they're great acting together, doesn't mean they overall acting is so good. for a Pirce Brosnan movie, really didn't see anything that good, neither from him or any other actor.Another issue is Salma Heyek. Yeah, she's hot (a lot), but his character is too much exaggerated. Hot thief girls are one of the biggest clichés on cinema. Boring.Photography is nice and clear and represent well a paradise location. I haven't payed much attention on soundtrack, so i can't opine.After the sunset ain't no brilliant heist movie, if you wanna something brilliant and complex, look for Leverage... If you want something to entertain your lonely afternoon, watch this.
richardhocking22 THE GOOD - (1) A very colorful film, with wonderful bright colors from the Bahamas scenery; (2) an interesting story right from the get-go; (3) originality in the story; and (4) yes, to be honest, Hayak's figure, which is seen in abundance throughout the film. She knows it's good and isn't shy about showing it, and (5) overall a good mixture of crime, comedy, romance and suspense and just right amount of time at just under 100 minutes.THE BAD - (1) Insulting gratuitous sex and really stupid sexual dialog at times; (2) once again subversive Hollywood making the FBI character a moron, for the most part; (3) some Rambo mentality (bad guys miss from close range, good guys never miss, etc.).It's an outlandish story but don't analyze it for credibility or you'd be turned off and quit after 10 minutes. Just go along for the ride and enjoy the entertainment....and entertaining it is!
intelearts Not so much a heist movie as a comedy about an FBI agent (Harrelson) tracking a diamond thief (Brosnan) and his partner in crime and life (Hayek).Fantastic settings and a lot of shenanigans made this very easy viewing.We loved the opening scenes, and honestly this is one just to relax and envy the lifestyle to.The emphasis is strongly on fun, without too much silliness, and if you take it at that level it is a pretty good film.Definitely worth the rental; we really enjoyed it.
