Driving by their deep will of restoring their money from the cruel employer, Richard and Kate, a divorced but lovely couple, follow him to steal the diamond from his girlfriend.
The jokes are as creaky as the would-be robbers' ageing bodies, but Thompson's air of wry disdain and Brosnan's frisky playfulness are enormously winning.
Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson...make a charming couple. But their best efforts can't save Joel Hopkins' weak script,...which he also directed, clumsily.
Hopkins managed a genuine delight a few years ago with "Last Chance Harvey," starring Thompson and Dustin Hoffman as two late-in-life lovers in London. But his new script has none of that wit.

...an underwhelming and forgettable endeavor that squanders the efforts of its charismatic leads.
