Product Overviews

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.

After the Sunset [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers

I loved this little movie. It is not the caliber of Gone with the Wind or The Green Mile but I thought it was a fun little movie. Good acting. The story really draws you in and then plays with you a little. Great scenery throughout the movie too! I recommend this movie whole-heartedly!! (Especially if you live in a cold place and it is the middle of winter. )

They Should Have Aimed Higher - K. pratt - Midwest USA
The time you spend watching this movie will probably be enjoyable and perfectly pleasant. The location scenery in The Bahamas is absolutely fantastic. The characters are charming and the plot is light-hearted and amusing. There are problems that may arise, however, once the film is over and you've switched off your player.

The script is really quite one-dimensional. Nothing whatsoever is happening beneath the surface. Once you know how the story ends, you know absolutely everything there is to know.

The characters in this movie are also one-dimensional. They seem to have no "back-story." They exist simply to move the plot along and they have no reality in any other way. We really don't know anything about them. They're dummies.

Pierce Brosnan plays a roguish thief in his patented manner and that's all he bothers doing. It was a very easy paycheck for him to earn. Woody Harrelson's portrayal of a rascally FBI agent is also a trademarked role for him. Salma Hayek is beautiful to look at, but her character is not a person.

This is a fine flick to kill some time with. Maybe that's what you want and maybe it isn't.
