Everything and everyone looks great on camera. The actors and the scenery look superb but the script is remarkably sub-par for the talent involved. We got Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek, Woody Harrelson, Don Cheadle, and Naomi Harris in what should be a sexy and stylish caper but while it's both sexy and stylish, it's pretty damn boring. The movie is short at about 90 minutes but it seems at least half of that is dedicated to not one but two preposterous romance subplots and a tremendously awkward bro-mance between Brosnan and Harrelson that ends up being more convincing than the heterosexual pairings. What makes this even more jarring and strange is that the movie is actually set up to be a tidy little thriller in the first act but then everything falls apart once suddenly everyone needs a love interest. The last minute plot twist really insults the audience and ruins one of its own love stories.
