David DiCerto (Catholic News Service) admits it "has its strengths," and he praises the chemistry of Brosnan and Harrelson. But he says the script keeps "detouring into subplots that go nowhere. In the final analysis … After the Sunset filches freely from past heist flicks (double–dealings, deftly choreographed capers, etc.) without ever really contributing anything new or innovative to the genre."

Evan D. Baltz (Christian Spotlight) says, "None of the characters seem fully developed. True to genre, the criminals are generally the rooting interest. I think this time around I was rooting for a better script. Enjoying a real sunset is probably a better option."

But Michael Elliott (Movie Parables) notes, "For all its faults, it has a mindless entertainment value that no critic can take away." (Is "mindlessness" really a "value"?)

The heist gets foiled by mainstream critics as well.

Denny Wayman (Cinema in Focus) says, "The glorification of the criminal and immoral life, with few consequences and no guilt, is a fantasy created by filmmakers who deceive us. The truth that the fear, pain, guilt and consequences of a criminal life degrade us is a message this film ignores."
