After the Sunset
The high-stakes action comedy After
The Sunset begins where most great heist movies end
with a pair of master thieves escaping to a tropical
paradise to enjoy the spoils of their labor. But when
an FBI agent, who has pursued them for seven years,
becomes convinced that they are actually plotting to
pull off a million-dollar theft from a nearby “diamond
cruise,” a riveting game of cat and mouse begins.
Max “The King of Alibis” Burdett (Pierce Brosnan) and
his beautiful accomplice Lola (Salma Hayek) have come
to Paradise Island in the Bahamas, fresh off their final
big score in which they lifted the second of the three
famous Napoleon diamonds. With their financial future
set, the couple is ready to relax and enjoy their hard-earned
riches.
But Stan (Woody Harrelson), the FBI agent who has spent
years in dogged but failed pursuit of Max, refuses to
believe that his nemesis is actually calling it quits.
He thinks that Max and Lola are actually plotting to
steal the third Napoleon diamond one of the three
largest non-flawed diamonds in the world which is
coincidentally scheduled to arrive on Paradise Island
as part of a touring cruise ship exhibition. Since he
has no jurisdiction in the Caribbean country, Stan teams
with a local cop (Naomie Harris) and sets out to catch
the sly Max and Lola in the act, while at the same time
a local gangster (Don Cheadle) has his own plans for
the diamond.
When the longtime adversaries meet up in paradise, Max
quickly turns the tables and befriends the frustrated
detective, showing him that Paradise Island has no shortage
of pleasures to offer. But in order for Stan to figure
out exactly what Max and Lola are up to, he will have
to navigate all the twists and double-crosses of an
action-packed story of friendship, suspicion and thievery.
