Review:
Pierce Brosnan plays a master jewel thief who has retired
with his lover, Salma Hayek, to an island paradise. Unfortunately,
he is followed by an FBI agent (Woody Harrelson) that he
has made a fool of several times during his previous heists.
A huge diamond is coming into port in a few days and the
agent is sure that Brosnan is planning on stealing it. He
follows him around and they begin to become friends. They
get into some funny situations together. Salma does not
believe that her lover is really retired. He has no hobbies
and he is bored. Together, they work on their problems until
she realizes that he is going to steal the diamond. Things
begin to fall apart and the plot takes some twists and turns
that you will not see coming. There is violence, sexuality,
and language. This is more of an adult film than one for
13 year olds. Salma Hayek is always dressed very provocatively
and the couple share a very active sex life even though
they are not married. They live together and engage in criminal
activities. There is also drinking and smoking. Why does
the jewel thief have with commitment? What is he looking
for in life?
