Summary: Expect more from Sean Connolly
Review: I like Sean a lot. I think this movie seems to lower his acting credentials if compared to his other movies. Also, I don't like the female lead actress. She is horrible. I just can not read from her acting but what she reallys feel. Plus, the movie has thousands of twists. Altogether with her lousy action, it makes me confused so many times. Anyway, I give 2 stars because I expect more from Sean. But, there is nothing to lose to watch this movie

Summary: Great action
Review: This movie was excellent. It keeps you guessing till the end trying to figure out who the bad guy really is. The suspense and action are wonderful. I loved watching the planning and preparations they took for their heists. Very intelligently done and I'd watch it again and again.

Summary: the worst film of 1999
Review: i can't believe all the positive reviews people have written, possibly the original producers of the movie. besides the fact that zeta-jones is the worst actress i have ever seen, not to mention a low-class welsh beauty whose fame has faded away already, the plot is predictable and ridiculous. the scene where we have to watch her walking thru the laser security was excruciatingly boring, in the meantime old connery is drolling on himself and groaning. not to mention the ending where they end up together, my god, it was unbelieveably bad. i'm a big james bond fan and wanted to like this movie, but it really insulted my intelligence. please save yourself time and money and skip this one.

Summary: dull heist caper
Review: The "heist" plot has been a staple of movies down through the decades, including such films as "Rififi," "Topkapi," "Gambit," "How to Steal a Million," "The Hot Rock" ad infinitum. In most cases, the object of the carefully crafted theft usually involved priceless jewels or artwork. In the latest installment, "Entrapment," there are indeed valuable tangible works to be lifted, but, in the style of true '90's thievery, the real goldmine lies in the more abstract vein of computer banking and currency transfer. Alas, the aptly named "Entrapment" falls into a trap of its own making, gussying up a hopelessly conventional script with a display of impressive computer hardware and eyeboggling gadgetry in a vain attempt to overcome dull, barely believable characters and a script totally devoid of the cleverness and wit necessary to carry this sort of story off.Sean Connery and the beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones portray accomplished thieves who, after a customary skirmish of mutual doubt and suspicion, decide to steal first a priceless Chinese mask and then $8 billion from the Southeast Bank in Koala Lampur. To give the film's its patina of contemporary relevance, the script inserts timely references to Y2K and the millennial bug - all to no avail. For unfortunately, Connery and Zeta-Jones, though both very charismatic stars in other circumstances, do not register high on the credibility scale here. It is hard to believe that this doddering dolt and this whiny, weepy fashionplate could possible concoct, let alone carry out, such elaborate heists and even gravity-defying stunts. Even less believable are the romantic interludes between this 60-year old man and this 20-something year old woman. The scenes in which Connery trains Jones to perform elaborate tricks of physical dexterity are dull and cutesy - and the final scene of reconciliation (at an empty train station) is so hopelessly contrived that the filmmakers seem to have thrown all logic out the window and allow the characters to perform feats that actually defy the laws of physical possibility. The basic purpose of "Entrapment" seems to have been to allow two likable actors the chance to cavort in a myriad of eyepopping settings and to dazzle the audience with the latest in technocyber hardware. It's too bad that the less techno value of a solid script driven by smart dialogue and well developed characters was not downloaded into this film as well.

Summary: 1999's Best Movie! Trill Ride from Begining to End!
Review: When I went to see this movie I really didn't know what it was about or what to expect, after it was over I knew this had to be one of the greatest films of all time. When surfing the net I found out that this movie had only recieved 2 1/2 stars! The movie is extremely better than 2 1/2 stars, it's about insurance investigater Jin (Cathrine Zeta Jones) who is facinated about famous theif Mac (Sean Coneray) when a famous rembrant is stolen from a client she claims it was him and that she can seduce him into telling all. Her boss who has a crush on her assigns her the job. While she claims to be a theif herself they join together to steal an ancient Chineese mask. The movie leads to the robbing of 8 billion dollars in a Kaula Lumpour bank. I highly suggest that you rent this classic caper movie.

Summary: The title explains how my mind was after this..entraped!
Review: This movie caught me off guard because I was not expecting it to be this good. It was kind of like a cross between james Bond and the fugetive but very different. Why? The Plot first of all was different because they started out with the Theif using some kind of special machine to lower them below this 40 story building to a window. The machine that the thief used had me thinking "Is stuff like this really around?". Sean and Cathrine take being a theif to the next level with the high tech gagets and cool escape moves. A good example is when cathrine was training to slip through the laser beams for the alarm system. Even though it's a movie......to think someone would be able to do this and even seeing it just makes u think. This movie has many twits and what you think in the begining will change quickly as u get to the middle and end of the movie. The only part about the movie I didn't like is how they just cut into the stroy with any intro to some of the characters backgrounds. Overall I think they came strong with this and I would recommend this to anyone who likes action, suspense, and mystery.

Summary: A Great Flick
Review: This film, though unrealistically high-tech, is definitely entertaining. Connery's, as well as Zeta-Jones', acting, in addition to Catherine's absolutely voluptuous beauty(great shots of her crawling under the laser beams) make this movie a "must have". I bought it, quite frankly, because I identified with Mac. When Zeta-Jones was in the mood to make love, Mac explains that "My situation is so complicated that it's difficult to explain". Any man out there who's had a radical prostatectomy, no matter how old, knows exactly what I mean and he meant. Damn the inadequacy that causes the missed opportunity!

Summary: The Must Say A Well Made Movie But.....
Review: This movie just like a lot of other movies surely had its moments. The one thing I liked about this movie was the BRILLIANT acting by Catherin Zeta Jones and Sean Connery. I think that these two go good together. I also have to tell you that it was a good story line only it had the wrong writers.

Summary: Good, but not Great Sean Connery...
Review: I really enjoyed this movie, but it wasn't quite up to the standard that I have come to expect from Sean Connery. However, Sean & Catherine Zeta Jones make a tremendous paring on film. It was definitely full of intrigue and a good storyline. I'm glad this is part of my collection, but I think I paid a little too much.

Summary: Worth Seeing
Review: ...From Bondto Highlander (okay, not his best role, but one of my favs) to TheRock, even when Mr. Connery is not gifted with an excellent script--he is still excellent. He is in Entrapment as well, too bad the script fails him again. Entrapment has Catherine Zeta Jones (Zorro) playing an insurance investigator (ooh, scary!) on the trail of Connery the master thief. Ving Raimes (Mission Impossible) hoins in an all too minor role. The plot is full of twists, and there is really some genuine excitement during the chase scenes, but I couldn't help but feel I've seen all this before and better (see Sneakers). The sexual tension between Connery and Jones is also excellent until it turns into something which left most of the group I saw it with crying out, "He's old enough to be her grandfather!" No points for grossing out the audience. The film is a good popcorn muncher, but if you're low on cash, save your money for the money for The Mummy or Star Wars instead. Kudos to all the key actors for great performaces. It will almost leave you wanting a sequel. Almost. END
