After the Sunset

I’m not a huge Brett Ratner fan, but of all his movies this is probably my favorite. I like heist flicks and After the Sunset is a good, though not great, one. Brosnan’s charm, Harrelson’s wackiness, and Hayek’s beauty make this an enjoyable little film.
Max (Pierce Brosnan) and Lola (Salma Hayek) pull their last heist in Los Angeles stealing the second Napoleon diamond from FBI Agent Stan Lloyd (Woody Harrelson) before retiring to the Bahamas. On arrival Lola is content with retirement, but Max grows bored. His boredom comes to an end when Stan shows up telling him that the third Napoleon diamond is on it’s way to the Bahamas and dares him to try and steal it.
Max is in a quandary as Lola wants nothing more than to be married and leave their criminal past in, well, the past. Also involved is a local gangster Henri Moore (Don Cheadle) who wants Max to steal the diamond to help him pay for his gun running, prostitution, and drug business.
