WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
After one final daring diamond heist, thieving couple Max (Pierce Brosnan) and Lola (Salma Hayek) retire to a Caribbean island.
The FBI agent they keep outwitting, Stan (Woody Harrelson), follows them, thinking they’re planning to steal a massive diamond, on display on a cruise ship.
A local gangster, Henry (Don Cheadle), is after the gem too. Unable to resist temptation, against Lola’s wishes, Max hatches a plan to steal it from under Stan’s nose.
WHAT’S IT LIKE?
Bursting with characters as sexy and colourful as the locations, non-stop action and as many gadgets as a Bond movie, this is an enjoyable ride.
It won’t tax your brain or satisfy the more fussy cinema-goer, but if it’s fun you want, you won’t be short-changed.
Brosnan’s back in Thomas-Crown-style smooth uber-criminal territory, with Harrelson as his uptight, comic foil.
And Hayek’s the real jewel in this light, slight, perfect popcorn movie.
