Pure popcorn fare here, which is about as best you can hope for when Brett Ratner is directing a film. This is a really good movie for someone who doesn't have the time and/or money to go on a real vacation. The locales shot for this movie are just beautiful and make you feel as if you're living in paradise.
The premise here is that Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek are a pair of jewel thieves who have supposedly decided to retire from the heist business and settle down in the Caribbean. Woody Harrelson plays the FBI agent who is tracking them down, convinced that they are planning another burglary.
If you try to think too much about all the supposed twists and turns offered by the film, you'll just make your head hurt, so it's better to just sit back and watch Salma Hayek in various stages of undress for 90 mins. There are a lot of contrivances found throughout the film, particularly in the relationship between Brosnan and Harrelson. But the film never takes itself too seriously, so it's not that bothersome. This one is the epitome of average and probably worth skipping unless you're desperately seeking some mindless entertainment. Netflix rating: ***
