After the Sunset may not be the greatest jewel-heist caper comedy ever made, but it sure is easy on the eyes.

Things get very sunny thereafter, when FBI agent Woody Harrelson lands in the Bahamas to track down ace diamond thief Pierce Brosnan and his lovely accomplice Salma Hayek, whom he suspects of planning their next big heist on a cruise ship.
