After the Sunset

After the SunsetIt's not a secret that I love heist movies, so I had to watch After the Sunset. For what it's worth, this is not the first time Pierce Brosnan plays the role of a thief. He already did that in The Thomas Crown Affair. The movie itself is pretty enjoyable, although I found Woody Harrelson's character a bit annoying at times, but perhaps that was the intention. Salma Hayek was a bit too 1 dimensional. I'd rather have had less boobs and more character development. How did Max and Lola meet? How long have they been in business? How was the first Napoleon Diamond stolen? There are some pretty funny moments, while others are a bit obnoxious, but all things considered I enjoyed the movie a lot. Some songs from the soundtrack are pretty catchy, I have too take a look at them. And the sets are simply fantastic, makes you want to be there. Something I've always liked about these movies is how the empathy with the thief is built as we get to know him and the police is always the bad guy, which is kind of ironic because the former is the one breaking the law, albeit in a very sophisticated and, why not, romantic kind of way. My fave heist movie is still Ocean's Eleven, but I'm sure I'll get this one on DVD once it comes out here.
