Critic Reviews

  • 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'.

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    A deliberately mindless action comedy that invites us to lose ourselves, without any PC guilt, in its hedonistic enticements.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    A movie utterly devoid of wit , excitement and any reason for being.

  • 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.

  • Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

    The film is thin, insipid and unconvincing except when it argues for Salma Hayek's beauty.

    Almost a little similar to the character that Brosnan played in The Thomas Crown Affair, yet a good relationship developed with Woody Harrelson, easy watching, no brainer

  • Chris G


    After The Sunset is another example of what James Bond does when he retires.Sometimes he becomes Harrison Ford's dad. Sometimes he ends up in The Spice Girls Movie or Boat Trip (+1). Occasionally he ends up being in films co starring The Nanny or Daffy Duck. Or you end up being… More

    Quite good considering I had not expectations for it! Brosnan is still a bit Bond like though and will have to work hard to shake the typecast!
