What was this thread about again? Oh yeah, After the Sunset. Back to the subject at hand, I saw it today, which was opening day, I guess.

This may contain spoilers, I don't know yet, I'll see where it goes.

I had been looking forward to it, especially since its Ratner and I really liked red dragon, but I was really disappointed. Its full of stupid jokes and plot turns. Its completely ridiculous. It is nowhere near Thomas Crowns caliber, for those who were comparing. It seemed to be trying really hard to be a touch oceans eleven or any of the other repetitive yet all so entertaining thief movies that have come out over the years, but it fell seriously short. Woody Harelson has completely lost all acting ability, I blame the alcohol. And selma blair, who I've seen be a pretty decent actress from time to time, is really only around to get undressed like twenty times in the hour and forty minutes. Count it, its like once every five minutes.

As far as the actual robbing, it was sad. There was no...flair to it. Everything was so obvious and was obviously just set up in the script so that they could lead the story in a particular direction. As far as Don Cheadle, he had a sad and all too underused part. He was supposed to be the bad ass on the island, but...he wasn't. And he's such a great actor, too. They should have used him more. His character was jsut a means to an end. Its like they wrote the script and went: 'Dammit, we need a subplot. What do we do? DON CHEADLE!!!'

Finally, the look of the film was inconsistent. They were on some island in the caribean, yet half the shots looked like it was freezing. Its called color correction, ratner. Jeez.

*****Direct Spoiler*****
Near the end, they had a scene under water with Woody Harelson and Pierce Brosnan and woody harelson is chasing him in a 'tag, you're it' sort of way. So they cut back and forth and harrelson has these random lines that pop in like 'I'm gonna getcha' and 'you can't outrun the FBI'. I swear, that was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever seen and it failed to create any suspense for me. I almost burst out laughing, but held back becuase I kept getting dirty looks from the lady next to me cause I kept sighing throughout the movie.

All in all, a bad film. Scratch that, movie. It was a bad movie.

So if Ono visits Idle Chatter more than Mod, maybe Ono should be "Mini-Mac" instead....

Visiting Idle Chatter isn't a virtue.  It's a penance.  (Although I just go here to see everything.)

Not that I blame you for forgetting the lead actress within a few hours of seeing the movie. Bad movies have a tendency to do that.

Right, Salma Hayek. Don't know why I said blair. Whatever, its still bad.
