What a fun and enjoyable movie this turned out to be! "Max Burdett" (played by Pierce Brosnan) is a jewel thief who wants to call it quits and retire in the Caribbean. "Lola Cirillo" (Salma Hayek) is his companion and partner-in-crime who accompanies him. Unfortunately, during one of their heists, they managed to completely discredit an FBI agent named "Stan Lloyd" (Woody Harrelson) who refuses to believe that they've retired and insists on catching them red-handed in their next caper. He is joined by a local cop named "Sophie" (Naomie Harris). Anyway, rather than divulging the rest of the story I will just say that this film had good acting, a favorable plot, a fine script and was well-directed by Brett Ratner. There was some enjoyable humor as well, especially involving the interaction between Pierce Brosnan and Woody Harrelson. Additionally, Salma Hayek looked quite sexy and her acting was equally first-rate. Likewise, Naomie Harris also put in a decent performance. That said, I thought that this was an excellent film and I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys a light-hearted and thoroughly entertaining movie.

This movie gets high marks for five things and low marks for three, so overall it's a keeper.

THE GOOD - (1) A very colorful film, with wonderful bright colors from the Bahamas scenery; (2) an interesting story right from the get-go; (3) originality in the story; and (4) yes, to be honest, Hayak's figure, which is seen in abundance throughout the film. She knows it's good and isn't shy about showing it, and (5) overall a good mixture of crime, comedy, romance and suspense and just right amount of time at just under 100 minutes.

THE BAD - (1) Insulting gratuitous sex and really stupid sexual dialog at times; (2) once again subversive Hollywood making the FBI character a moron, for the most part; (3) some Rambo mentality (bad guys miss from close range, good guys never miss, etc.).

It's an outlandish story but don't analyze it for credibility or you'd be turned off and quit after 10 minutes. Just go along for the ride and enjoy the entertainment....and entertaining it is!

Max Burdett (Pierce Brosnan) and Lola Cirillo (Salma Hayek) are master thieves. After a big score against FBI agent Stan Lloyd (Woody Harrelson),they retire to a Caribbean island. She's loving it, but he's restless. Then Lloyd comes to investigate them with the last Napolean diamond that they have yet to steal on display on a cruise ship right next door.

Director Brett Ratner is trying for a breezy funny caper movie. He's got the breezy part, but not necessarily the funny part. It's easy to be breezy with a tropical island backdrop, and the super hot Salma Hayek. However, the jokes keep falling flat. The caper is also not that impressive. The action goes very serious in the climax which is out of tune with the rest of the movie. Overall, it's an unimpressive caper movie, and a breezy 90 minutes on the beach with Salma.
