Bovie Movie

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.

When the street-smart, down-with-it rapper C-Note (Big Boi) applies for membership to the snotty, all-white Carolina Pines Country Club, the establishment’s proprietors are hardly ready to oblige him. Undeterred and unwilling to take the rejection dished out, C-Note smacks down a fat escrow on the crib next door to the 17th green — which virtually guarantees membership to the musician, and sets the stage for an outrageous assault on the country club and its stuck-up members. Horrified, club president Cummings (Jeffrey Jones) and his cronies try desperately to have C-Note’s membership revoked. Meanwhile, C-Note decides to bring in a crew of his in-your-face homeboys, who turn the club upside down and inside out with their boisterous hip-hop antics.
