After the dreck

As part of our lazy weekend plan we watched After The Sunset (imdb | rotten tomatoes) last night. Pah. I liked it better when it was called The Thomas Crown Affair.

I’ll be blunt: had Salma Hayek not been in a bikini (or some other wonderfully revealing outfit) for most of the film, I couldn’t have finished it. Don Cheadle? Barely in it and totally wasted. Ditto Chris Penn. Woody Harrelson I don’t like at the best of times, so his presence wasn’t really a plus. Pierce Brosnan seemed to be phoning it in. Really, the only one I liked (apart from Salma) was Naomie Harris (I didn’t even recognize her as Serena from 28 Days Later). She at least seemed to be putting some effort into it…

Blech. Avoid.
