6/10
enjoyable and entertaining with usual plot

Light-action and comedy... that is what I think from After The Sunset, a movie directed by Brett Ratner. I was watching this movie not a while ago, I should say it was entertaining. There are several natural-funny scenes, which I would say, are quite well prepared. Overall, it is pretty enjoyable especially this movie is performed by Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek (I don't know for ladies, but for guys Salma Hayek is hot!).

However, there are not many actions or stunning scene you can expect from this movie. The story floats pretty interesting although it is a usual one. Forcing the almost-ending scene, where Max (Pierce Brosnan) came back to propose Lola (Salma Hayek) with his "romantic" speech, to make it happy-ended actually deteriorates its value. But I think Brett realised that people like a pleasant-ending. Fortunately, he can make it up with putting a more remembered scene afterwards.

Basically the story begins with the last "mission" of Max and Lola. Afterwards, this thieves-couple is retired. Unfortunately, the FBI agent Stan (Woody Harrelson) who they have been bullied for seven-years interrupts their retirement by "offering" a temptation for this couple. Can Max "hold his balls under the pants"? I did not give any specific synopsis because if I wrote too much, this movie would not be interesting as it is. So, enjoy it!
