This is a shallow, silly affair that gets by
on its star power. Pierce Brosnan and
Salma Hayek star as jewel thieves who
retire to an island paradise after their last
big heist, only to be pursued by an FBI
Agent (Woody Harrelson) who thinks they
are up to something. Brosnan and
Harrelson are pretty funny, especially on a
fishing trip where they must dab each
other with suntan lotion and hook a shark.
Hayek is her usual charming self, but
Don Cheadle is a nothing presence as
an island crime lord. The jewel heists are
mildly interesting, and the scenery is fun
to behold. The Harrelson-Brosnan
scenes are easily the films best. Not a
big one in the brain department, but it
does have enough laughs and mildly
entertaining adventure to make it worth a
DVD rental. Brett Ratner (Rush
Hour), who knows his way around a
buddy comedy, directs.
