Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: With nothing at stake and little mortal peril, Sunset loses most of its dramatic tension. Read more

Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: [A] mostly terrible heist comedy. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Shot in the Bahamas with lots of plugs for the Atlantis resort, After the Sunset looks great but is the cinematic equivalent of empty calories. Read more
Bob Townsend, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: An occasionally amusing but generally dull heist movie. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: Like a tropical drink served at a resort bar, After the Sunset looks pretty but has zero kick. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: After the Sunset is content to take in the sights and ogle the ladies. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: An unalloyed delight, bright and breezy escapist fare that's pure entertainment, filled with romance, adventure, humor, action, suspense, beautiful scenery and beautiful people. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: A deliberately mindless action comedy that invites us to lose ourselves, without any PC guilt, in its hedonistic enticements. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: After the Sunset is about as flat-footed a heist caper as I've ever seen: clumsy where it should be graceful, lumpy where it should be sleek. Read more

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: At its best, After the Sunset still isn't much more than a bauble. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: When the movie can tear itself away from Lola, it's more of a buddy comedy than a heist film, and a bad one at that. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek play partners-in-crime in a jewel-heist frolic so stale it feels like a retread of a retread. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: One of the worst heist pictures ever. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: After the Sunset is skillfully made, but it's not necessary. Read more
Minneapolis Star Tribune: It's effective stuff -- as far as it goes. But anyone expecting something more from After the Sunset will feel as if they've been robbed. Read more

Peter Howell, Toronto Star: One of the most lackadaisical Hollywood projects of the year. Read more
Anil Sinanan, Time Out: Audiences seeking mild diversion might prefer approaching it as Lola does her new surroundings: 'The challenge is to find joy in simple things'. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: The movie grows progressively more routine in quarter-hour increments, eventually collapsing under the weight of its own insignificance. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: While After the Sunset is never exactly dull and is smartly cut to a brief running time, it never quickens the pulse. Read more
Jorge Morales, Village Voice: To pass the time between the product placements, director Brett Ratner tries to squeeze chuckles out of gay-panic set pieces, the quaint antics of colorful natives, and Woody Harrelson's surreal miscasting as the FBI agent. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: The film is thin, insipid and unconvincing except when it argues for Salma Hayek's beauty. Read more
Jen Chaney, Washington Post: After the Sunset fizzles so quickly that it's hard to care about the answers to any of the cliched mysteries it attempts to solve. Read more
