| This
sunset concept opens the door to the bigger question that the movie
seems to ask and answer. What treasures have value? Fundamentally,
God created all the personality types, differences in people that
sometimes cause disagreements but that in the end make this world
run smoothly. |

| SYNOPSIS
|
 The
high-stakes action comedy After The Sunset begins where most great
heist movies end -- with a pair of master thieves escaping to a tropical
paradise to enjoy the spoils of their labor. But when an FBI agent,
who has pursued them for seven years, becomes convinced that they
are actually plotting to pull off a million-dollar theft from a nearby
“diamond cruise,” a riveting game of cat and mouse begins.
Max
“The King of Alibis” Burdett (Pierce Brosnan) and his
beautiful accomplice Lola (Salma Hayek) have come to Paradise Island
in the Bahamas, fresh off their final big score in which they lifted
the second of the three famous Napoleon diamonds. With their financial
future set, the couple is ready to relax and enjoy their hard-earned
riches.
But
Stan (Woody Harrelson), the FBI agent who has spent years in dogged
but failed pursuit of Max, refuses to believe that his nemesis is
actually calling it quits. He thinks that Max and Lola are actually
plotting to steal the third Napoleon diamond -- one of the three
largest non-flawed diamonds in the world -- which is coincidentally
scheduled to arrive on Paradise Island as part of a touring cruise
ship exhibition. Since he has no jurisdiction in the Caribbean country,
Stan teams with a local cop (Naomie Harris) and sets out to catch
the sly Max and Lola in the act, while at the same time a local
gangster (Don Cheadle) has his own plans for the diamond.
When
the longtime adversaries meet up in paradise, Max quickly turns
the tables and befriends the frustrated detective, showing him that
Paradise Island has no shortage of pleasures to offer. But in order
for Stan to figure out exactly what Max and Lola are up to, he will
have to navigate all the twists and double-crosses of an action-packed
story of friendship, suspicion and thievery.

 Review
by MELINDA LEDMAN
HJMLedman@yahoo.com.
Melinda Ledman is a graduate
of Baylor University with a Bachelor’s degree in English.
During college, she worked on the film Letter From Waco (director
Don Howard), which won the award for best documentary feature in
the 1997 South by Southwest Film Festival. After she and her husband
Rob had their first child in September 2002, she began free-lance
writing full time. In addition to writing reviews, she most enjoys
writing original screenplays. She gratefully serves God after 12
years of alcoholism, and appreciates grace and freedom on a whole
new level. |
After
the Sunset was an all-around-fun heist flick with
the usual degree of unlikely events. The crinkled brow and “that
can’t really happen” frown were offset by the surprisingly
well-developed theme -a rare jewel for a heist, con, or action flick.
I also had my share of legitimate chuckles throughout the movie.
Admittedly, I went into the theater expecting the sequel to the
Thomas Crown Affair. Although it came close, this film went beyond
the lively banter and tricky technical illusions (which the audience
is supposed to swallow in the absence of actual knowledge), and
actually dug into a topic which anyone can relate to: the stressful
life of a driven “Type A” personality.
