"You're cheating on me, Max. Maybe not with another woman, but with diamond."

Jewel thieves have retired to an island, and everything seems like a paradise, until an old nemesis, FBI agent shows up, and is suspecting the thieves to steal another diamond.

That poster doesn't look at all like the movie was. After the Sunset was actually really cheerful movie with less action than you'd first think. I mostly became interested in this film because it's directed by Brett Ratner. He's also directed Red Dragon and X-Men: The Last Stand, the least liked movie in the X-Men Trilogy. Brett Ratner might not be as good as many other directors, but his works are decent and worth watching, especially Red Dragon, which is my second favourite movie of those featuring Hannibal Lecter. 

Definitely Ratner has done better job with Red Dragon and even X-Men than with After The Sunset. After The Sunset isn't actually as brilliant as many other movies like this one. One thing was surprising though: the surprise. They give such a big foreshadowing in the beginning, and the viewer might think that "this really gave the ending away now, didn't it". But the foreshadowing was actually a genius move, even though it usually is a cliché and makes the film too predictable. Because of the foreshadowing, there were so many times when you could think "this is it, this is what they were talking about". but since it happens so many times, you can't see the real plot twist before it's thrown into your face. So even though the movie isn't even averagely good.

And okay, I have to admit, this movie was also pretty funny. I laughed out loud several times. The humour isn't actually clever or anything, but it's created by funny or embarrassing situations, and the rest is something you'd find funny if your friends would say. Yeah. 

The music in the movie was brilliant though, and really suited  the surroundings. So if there was anything really, really good in this movie, it's the soundtrack. It's fun. Of course the actors and actresses were good. Pierce Brosnan was alright, this might be one of my favourite roles from Woody Harrelson, Naomie Harris was as lovely and badass as ever, and oh, Salma Hayek. I think I'm truly in love with Hayek, she's a beautiful woman and a talented actress. 

So, in short, After The Sunset isn't anything special or even good, apart from one plot twist, humour in small doses and excellent acting. The movie might be worth seeing one time, but one time only. After that it will probably turn into something really boring.
