In this
caper movie from director
Brett Ratner, two brilliant criminals are lured out of retirement...or are they?
Max Burdett (
Pierce Brosnan) is a master jewel thief who, with the help of his accomplice and lover
Lola Cirillo (
Salma Hayek), has stolen two of the three Napoleon diamonds, among the most valuable gems on Earth.
Stanley Lloyd (
Woody Harrelson) is an FBI agent who has been on
Burdett's trail for years and is especially eager to bring him to justice after a humiliating incident in which
Max swiped one of the Napoleons out from under
Stanley's nose. But word has it that
Max and
Lola have abandoned their lives of crime, and they've taken up residence on an idyllic island in the Bahamas, where they're living the good life on their ill-gotten fortune.
Lloyd is not convinced they're out of the game for good, and when he learns that the third Napoleon diamond will be on display aboard a cruise ship headed in
Max's direction,
Lloyd joins forces with
Sophie (
Naomie Harris), a Paradise Island police detective, to catch
Max and
Lola red handed.
Henry Moore (
Don Cheadle), an expatriate American gangster who also lives on the island, doesn't believe
Max has gone straight either and tries to rope him into stealing the jewel for him.
