And play they do! I don't know why but I thought there'd be more action in this movie, a la Pierce Brosnan's other films: Die Another Day, The Thomas Crown Affair, Mrs. Doubtfire, etc. Unfortunately the only action was between Brosnan and Hayek, Harrelson and Naomi something or other, and Harrelson and Brosnan (yes, folks, man on man love, like diamonds, is forever).
The tale is of a retiring diamond thief (Brosnan) and his betrothed (Hayeck) moving to a Bahamian island, free from the FBI's jurisdiction. But uh oh! Here's Woody Harrelson, the FBI agent twice foiled by Brosnan's allegedly shenanigans to allegedly steal the allegedly two Napoleon diamonds. Harrelson accuses Brosnan of not retiring but rather scheming to allegedly steal the allegedly third Napoleon allegedly diamond. Will he do it? Is he really retired? Will he lie to his betrothed? Or will Number 6 ever get off the island?!? All these questions and more will be answered by the end of this "experience," unfortunately it was more schmaltz than substance.
Also featured is Don Cheatle (of Golden Palace and Ocean's 11 fame). His character tries to be a foil but is barely used and even less relevant. |
