(1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 17% Rotten Page   1   B "The film is devoted to life after the thievery, where the spoils of victory can be enjoyed to their fullest potential...a great start to this spirited, sun-drenched caper."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 2/5 "That's when most of us sleep."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger C- "Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek attempt to heat up the screen in the action caper “After the Sunset”… but despite effective pacing, the movie barely reaches a simmer."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 1.5/4 "Spends so much time down Selma Hayek's shirt fronts that we come away suffocated."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 2.5/4 "...a fluffy time-killer."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 1.5/4 "A long slog through a pretty sea of thankless twaddle."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 1/4 "After the Sunset has the audacity to con audiences with a script seen a million times before."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez C "Do the people who make movies not realize that most of us have seen movies before and are therefore not impressed when the same formulas keep popping up again and again?"   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1/4 "To paraphrase a far greater expert in the heist genre, David Mamet, After The Sunset is like having Elmore Leonard puke and then that puke wrote the script."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 2/4 "...[a] hollow heist flick. Alas, After the Sunset maintains having the trivial tension of a fifth grade spelling bee contest. Repeat after me…Paradise Lost."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C- "The plot too frequently gets in the way of indulging in the view. If the picture had been kept a travelogue, it might have been better for all concerned."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 "A ho-hum heist flick."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "A film of small moments and big laughs."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "A series of silly snafus turn this potential smart-sell into a banal trifle."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 4/10 "They got to make a movie on a beautiful island; the film itself might just be an afterthought. It feels like one, anyway."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen 6/10 "Basically, it’s a 'cute' date movie or video rental that is likely to be appreciated by most anyone on an aesthetic front, and likely entertain most enough to be satisfied as you walk out of the theater."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 1.5/4.0 "Don’t be fooled; this isn’t the heist film you’re looking for."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 2/5 "After the Sunset tries to be two different films."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 2/5 "This tired caper comedy is permanently trapped in the doldrums, drifting listlessly from one gadget-heavy set piece to another without ever stirring up so much as a ripple of energy."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 1.5/4 "All polish trying to cover up an unsanded surface."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik C- "The dialogue mimics the terseness [of Elmore Leonard's work] without the snap or humor. Almost every word sounds recycled from another movie."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[I]f Brosnan is still turning heads, Harrelson is still turning stomachs..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "After the Sunset looks great and has good actors, but it generally fails at what it really wants to do."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C- "The jokes aren't funny, the romantic encounters are unpersuasive, the pacing sags and drags, and the characters get less appealing as each minute goes by."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow "Behind the curve."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 2/5 "in need of better characters, a better script, and a touch of evil"   Filmcritic.com   Pete Croatto 1.5/4 "A cheesy, frequently sophomoric caper comedy."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 0/4 "A moment where Brosnan quietly retracts his fishing pole says volumes about the sadness at the so-to-speak root of this testosterone opera."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 2/4 "What you get with this film is an unoriginal concept using the backdrop of a resort to lure us to see a heist film where our time is only thing that was stolen."   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales 6/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 17% Rotten Page   1
