Movie Reviews of After the Sunset (Widescreen New Line Platinum Series)
Movie Review: Salma, Pierce, and Woody carry this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally purchased this movie. I saw it on an airplane on my way to Europe the first time. Then it wound up on Netflix twice and at that point I decided to buy it...and I've played it in the background while doing other stuff a couple of times...why?
Well, it has great "view again and again" qualities to it. I won't sit down and "watch" it intently but its a great background movie...but why?
Well lets start with the characters: The characters carry this movie. Salma is gorgeous and she plays her role to a tee. Pierce is in character as James Bond -- cool, suave, debonaire. Woody? He plays his role in a very serious manner and his character comes with color and flair and hint at a comedy that only Woody can bring.
The supporting cast is comprised of very senior characters. Don Cheadle is an academy award nominated actor. In every scene where he appears, he fills the screen with his acting. This man carries movies all by himself -- and in this movie it shows the caliber actor that he really is! He did a wonderful job in Hotel Rwanda and After the Sunset works in large part because of the dimension he brings to his villanous role with lines like, "this used to be a childrens hospital but I'm revitalizing it into a paramilitary compound." How can you deliver that line convincingly but still tell the audience that we should laugh here? I'll never know but he does. Naomie Harris also plays a great supporting role and great opposite to Woody. There are too many good supporting cast and I'm wondering how they got so many recognizable faces to do this movie.
At the end of the day, this movie works because all the characters were cast very well and played off each other very well even the seasoned actors who step in for bit parts that they play very very well.
Ok now to the plot, Its formulaic. Pierce and Salma are jewel thiefs who decide to get out while at the top and retire to Nassau after stealing two of the three Napoleon diamonds -- Woody was assigned to protect Napoleon two and he's mad that he lost the diamond to Pierce and Salma. Woody is the serious dogged FBI agent who does not give up but after losing the second Napoleon diamond to Pierce is now on a "short leash" from the FBI as he says but does not believe for a minute that Pierce and Salma are retired so he follows them to Nassau...apparently the "third" Napoleon jewel, the only one Pierce and Salma haven't stolen is on display on a cruise ship which conveniently is coming to Nassau. The fun really takes off from there -- I won't give up more. Its a wild romp from there.
If everything I've typed hasn't gotten you to at least rent this movie....men, Salma wears teeny bikinis and amazing dresses throughout this movie! Uhm. That's enough for me. To her credit, she's a wonderful actress but gosh she's gorgeous too! Ladies, both Woody and Pierce run around without their shirts for half the movie so there is a certain degree of gratuitous sex appeal to this movie. But in the end, its the acting and the chemistry between the main characters and the supporting characters that makes this movie wonderful.
