Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek are retired jewel thieves.
After stealing their last diamond in a heist which included kidnapping FBI
agent Lloyd (Woody Harrelson), they now live their lives together on the isle
of Paradise. But Agent Lloyd is not done with them and sets off to nail them as
thieves once and for all.
With the knowledge the 3rd and final Napoleon
diamond will be on display on a cruise ship docking on the isle for 1 week
only, Agent Lloyd is convinced Max won’t let it be within reach without
attempting to complete his collection. But as he tempts Max into revealing his plan to
steal it, it soon becomes clear that Max isn’t the only one interested in the diamond.
Local gangster Henri Moore also wants the diamond for his own use and recruits Max into helping him figure
out how to steal it, but with Lola enjoying retirement
and not tempted to re-enter the world of crime they once enjoyed, will Max be
persuaded to do one last job and will Agent Lloyd finally get his man?
As a crime caper this movie had a few funny moments –
whether intentional or not – but apart from that it wasn’t as good as I had
hoped.
With James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan in the driving seat, I
hoped a bit of the secret agent would rub off onto the main character, but
unfortunately this movie didn’t have the pace, skill or sophistication to carry
off an exciting crime thriller.
Disappointing.
