Rating of 3 stars out of 5
Radio Times

A jewel thief is tempted to come out of retirement in this pleasantly entertaining Caribbean-set caper. Pierce Brosnan plays suave crook Max Burdett, whose idyllic life in a Bahamian paradise — shared with partner-in-crime Lola (Salma Hayek) — is jeopardised when he sees the chance to steal a famed diamond. Burdett must also contend with his old nemesis, FBI agent Stanley Lloyd (Woody Harrelson), who doesn't believe Burdett can retire, and so a seemingly endless game of cat-and-mouse ensues. Rush Hour director Brett Ratner offers perhaps more than enough tasteless jokes about suntan-oil application and scenes of Hayek in skimpy swimwear, but, luckily, the cast's playfulness works within the predictable plot rather than against it.

Pierce Brosnan.... Gotta watch it!

A Customer from wigan, 19th December, 2004

You have to watch this if your a James Bond fan. Also if you liked The Thomas Crown Affair. Brosnan is fantastic as a jewel thief with Salma Hayek @ his side, they make a realistic couple that just slot together like 2 halves of a lost diamond. Great from start to finish.

2 Cool from Gravesend, 30th December, 2004

This really is a TV film. The acting is ok and Salma is beautiful as usual. Brosnan and Salma are a couple of diamond thieves that decide to retire but then an opportunity arises for stealing another diamond and Brosnan can't resist. This really is an average film with an average script. If you like Brosnan or Salama it's worth watching. If you need a good story line try something else.

Great Fun

JohnnyTooBad from West Midlands, 7th April, 2005

Loved this film. All of the actors work well together but the interplay between Harrelson and Brosnan is just hilarious. Thorougly charming and a decent plotline kept me engaged throughout. Neat ending too.

Fun in the sun

Bug1 from Hants, 18th April, 2005

A surprisingly funny movie for those interested in escaping the rigours of their day. Easy on the eye (Salma & Pierce) yet poigniant and exciting in parts.

Much better than expected!

Mildly amusing

A Customer from Bury, 4th January, 2009

Wooden acting, weak and unoriginal plot, some amusing moments. You could do better elsewhere.

Give it a miss.

JohnnyX from from Bristol, 20th October, 2008

I like Woody Harrelson but I can't stand Pierce Brosnan, and so I found this film to be particularly painful and uninteresting. I shouldn't have watched it, but it had some good reviews, so I thought that I would give it a try.
The plot is hackneyed and obvious, the direction is poor, and the whole thing is just empty of any real content.
I suppose that if you like Brosnan then you might like this, but otherwise, it is a waste of time. I have nothing good to say about it.
