It\u2019s arguable, but it might well be that in a career spanning some 40 years, Woody Harrelson<\/a> did his absolute best work in the 2014 HBO series True Detective, alongside Matthew McConaughey. It was a huge success and spawned three more series, although none stood up to that brilliant first season.\u00a0<\/p>\n But it wasn\u2019t the only time Harrelson had played a detective<\/a>; three years before that he appeared in Rampart, a gritty, twisted film about a corrupt LAPD officer that featured something of an all-star cast with Sigourney Weaver, Ice Cube, Brie Larson and Steve Buscemi. While an excellent film, it didn\u2019t do too well at the box office, which is more than can be said for the other time Harrelson put on an FBI jacket.<\/p>\n That was for a 2011 movie called After the Sunset, an action comedy with Pierce Brosnan in which Harrelson played an FBI agent, a part that he admitted at the time was slightly surprising to people given he is a marijuana advocate with a former hitman for a father. <\/p>\n Directed by Rush Hour\u2019s Brett Ratner, it told the story of Brosnan\u2019s master thief succeeding in a final big score before being hunted down by Harrelson\u2019s character.<\/p>\n The heist movie was anything but a success, barely breaking even on release and essentially operating as a free holiday for the cast and crew to the Bahamas. But Harrelson\u2019s co-star in the movie, Mexican actor Salma Hayek<\/a> certainly made an impression on him to say the least. <\/p>\n He told IGN: \u201cSalma is just one of the great goddesses ever put on this Earth. Actually, every year, she gets more beautiful\u2026 As a person, she\u2019s also, you know, she\u2019s one of those people who truly cares about her friends and is always making sure that everyone\u2019s okay\u2026There\u2019s just something extraordinary about that Salma Hayek.\u201d<\/p>\n So he quite liked her then it would seem. In a bit of a turn up, 20 years later after its release the movie actually started to do quite well on Netflix, but that didn\u2019t help the film\u2019s fairly woeful score on Rotten Tomatoes, and it isn\u2019t one you\u2019ll hear many people reference as a great example of the heist genre.\u00a0<\/p>\n That said it\u2019s just a blip on Harrelson\u2019s record given he has been in some pretty fantastic stuff over the years, and he looks to have plenty more on the way. This week he was seen in Paris working on a new movie called Full Phil with Kristen Stewart, about a future in the French capital where AI decides who gets to live where.<\/p>\n
