Advantages: Brosnan puts in a brilliant perfromance. Good script, easy to follow plot and overall very enjoyable Disadvantages: It seemed to appear from nowhere, very little coverage
...So a couple of years after his last outing as the worlds most famous spy I spotted Brosnan make his return along side Woddy Harrelson in the latest comedy from Brett Ratner. Id enjoyed Ratner’s previous films and that’s what finally convinced me to give the girl at Blockbusters my money and rent it.
Max (Pierce Brosnan) is the best diamond thief around; of course he does have a little help from a good woman as well. So having been moments away from ... ...steal the worlds most valuable diamond from FBI agent Stan Lloyd (Woddy Harrelson). He would have got away with it if he’d been a bit quicker and not let Lloyd shot him. That meant there was evidence Max was on the scene and rather than risk losing him in the next raid Lola (Salma Hayek) decides it’s time for them to retire their Island paradise.
Having remained undetected on their Island it’s a shock when FBI agent Lloyd turns up out of the blue, ...

Advantages: Good Laughs Disadvantages: Too Predictable
...jewel thief business in style. After dramatically swiping the second of the three Napoleon diamonds, they retire to the good life full of sandy beaches, clear oceans, stunning sunsets, and lobster dinners...lots and lots of lobster dinners. In fact, life is so good that both Max and Lola find themselves struggling, in their seperate ways, not slip into a 'good life' coma. Lola glides from one hobby to the next while continuing to expand on their ... ...slightly more than nothing day after day, can't even seem to get his wedding vows written. So when Stan Lloyd, their old FBI rival, shows up on the island...he quickly upgrades from Thorn-in-the-side to Persistant Wedge. Stan is there with seemingly one purpose in mind, to redeem his past Burdett inspired career humiliations by keeping the third Napoleon safe. Once Max knows that the diamond is just sitting there on display on a cruise ship...he ...

Advantages: It's a silly, fun heist movie Disadvantages: You'll hate it if you like things to be logical and realistic
...who retire to the Bahamas, after doing the fabled one last job. Lola settles easily into the holiday lifestyle, while Max is itching for the thrill of committing another big heist. But then FBI agent Stan Lloyd turns up with the news that the only Napoleon diamond they hadn’t previously stolen is coming to their island paradise. Lola questions Max’s reasons for moving to the island, Lloyd seems to be daring him to steal the stone and a local gangland ... ...only way to deal with temptation to give in to it?
Though director Brett Ratner’s films may not be works of art, they are never less than entertaining. Here he has put together an enjoyable heist caper that trades on Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond persona and the undeniable physical charms of Salma Hayek. He’s thrown in a strong supporting cast, breathtaking Caribbean locations, a jaunty soundtrack, plenty of exciting set-pieces and a couple of decent ...
