Summary: WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO
Review: If you're a movie buff,you've seen this kind of formula caper film too often already.Don't you think that SEAN CONNERY has played these roles to death by now,after 40 years?It would be fun if he played a grandfather for a change.We're lucky to have CATHERINE ZETA-JONES ,who with her beauty makes it tolerable to watch.But maybe you're not a movie buff,and you just want to be entertained for 114 minutes after a hard day at work,then this is for you.Watch out,you might fall asleep on your couch.You'll be glad to go to bed even if you are alone.What about the story you might ask?Who cares really?Don't bother.

Summary: How lucky can Sean Connery get?
Review: I mean come on, Sean Connery has played just about every part, noble and righteous kings, always get the girl Bond, James Bond, and an ex-con called upon to break into Alcatraz to save the planet and many more. Now Mr. Connery gets to act with one of the most beautiful actresses in our day. Catherine Zeta Jones (The Mask of Zorro, The Haunting) is a professional thief, being masked by a professional job working for an insurance company. When Virginia (Jones) is sent to hunt down a stolen painting we discover her as the thief. 'Gin' goes to the home of Robert MacDougal 'Mac' (Connery) to help her pull off the thieving job of the century. What starts out as a business relationship soon turns into a physical attraction to each other, hence Connery being lucky. Although the story line and plot are not very thrilling, Connery and Jones make it a worthwhile show, maybe not to own, but definatley to watch.

Summary: Didn't see that coming!!!
Review: This film appears to have been written pretty much to accentuate Zeta-Jones appeal, but there is much more to this film, and even in its sensual parts it really does keep itself quite well to what is needed to support the plot.
Three things in this movie really make it stand out.
The first is the plot. There seems to be a hidden meaning to every scene, and to almost every scene a twist that brings us into a totally different spot. It's like a wild roller coaster ride in the dark.
The second is the robberies. It is amazing to watch the high tech devices in the hands of experts used to waltz through some of the most intricate security systems. There are some minor slips in the robberies technically speaking, but nothing that destroys the film or even the robberies.
The third element is the chemistry between Zeta-Jones and Connery is extremely intriguing especially because of the age difference. And who's to say that normal people don't do strange things like that all the time?
I'm tacking a fourth on here: In my opinion this film is the best work either Connery or Zeta-Jones has ever done. Also if you are looking for a similar movie with real style. Thomas Crown Affair appears to be essentially it's counter part. The only real difference is I think Thomas Crown Affair over did every aspect of itself.

Summary: ENTERTAINMENT VALUE
Review: Catherine Zeta-Jones is her gorgeous self here, ensnaring men on both sides to achieve her aims. She portrays an insurance investigator and goes undercover to catch Sean Connery's aging thief character in the act, but she is really planning to use him in an even bigger heist. Of course you find out in the end that there has been more double crossing going on than meets the naked eye. There is a lot of interesting scenery in the film, a lot of Catherine looking beautiful. But overall the film is quite intelligent and passably believable in the way it is carried out. It has its happy ending, so it is not by any means perfect, but it will be riveting enough to keep you watching until the end.

Summary: Movie is OK, DVD Features Questionable
Review: I believe that this movie and The Thomas Crown Affair came out the same year. This is the weaker of the two, but still enjoyable. Sean Connery is not equalling his performances in Finding Forrester and The Untouchables, but he brings some fun to the part. Catherine Zeta Jones is fine, but this movie is supposed to be a fun old caper, and it lacks some of the flair that Crown had in excess. Whenever the two were stealing something the movie was fun, but it was just about a half-hour too long. It was okay, but so was the DVD. The deleted scenes had no audio, but the studio made the right choice cutting them. The alternate ending was the regular one with the mess of dialogue at the end deleted, which would have been better, I think. Anyway, if you have patience you will get a lot more out of this. I thought it was average.

Summary: Way to go Sean!!!!
Review: I liked this movie because not only is Sean Connery a legend in his own right but, he is a very clever thief in this movie. Catherina Zeta-Jones did a fantastic job also. This movie is interesting because you can't trust anybody. They are all trying to entrap each other in the web of thievory and lies. I actually liked this movie contrary to a lot of other people.

Summary: zeta-jones and connery are bizarre screen couple
Review: Entrapment is a decent action flick. While most of the romantic interplay between Connery and Zeta-Jones and some of the down time they have to spout off bad dialogue is boring, there are a couple really cool action scenes. Among them is the one in which Catherine Zeta-Jones' character has to slither her way through an invisible web of motion sensors to capture an ancient, invaluable mask. The suspense is awesome in that scene. Another fun scene has Zeta-Jones doing gymnastics on an elevated wooden beam. The other cool scene involves Zeta-Jones and Connery's attempts to pull off a bank transition on top of the highest building in the world: the twin twoers in Malaysia. While those scenes are thrilling and worth seeing, the film ultimately does not work. I did not enjoy watching these two together. They are both grossly miscast. Sean Connery cannot be cast as a dashing, athletic, Bondian type hero again. Zeta-Jones is not a bad actress, nor is she magnetic enough to distract us from how weird their relationship is. Their sexual innuendo is excruciating to watch. They could have cast Faye Dunaway in the Zeta-Jones part, but she'd STILL be too young for Connery. Whoever cast this film should never be allowed to work in film again.

Summary: TERRIBLE
Review: If it wasn't for the fact that I rented the movie from the library, I would be quite ticked. Just about every cliché "action" scenario was used and not very well I might add. Bland plot, lack of chemistry between Connery and Zeta Jones, choppy story line, etc. Connery is an attractive man for his age, but come on. The age difference is just too much to accept. They should have had Anna Nicole Smith as his love interest, then it would have been believable. Zeta Jones cannot act to save her life! And it wasn't one of Connery's better acting moments. I didn't expect much from the movie, but I was still disappointed. There are just too many horrible things about the movie to state. If you haven't seen it...don't!

Summary: Huh? What !?!
Review: Catherine Zeta Jones is Virginia Baker, an insurance investigator on the trail of a master thief, Robert "Mac" MacDougal (Sean Connery) in this purported romantic actioner. First linking Mac to the theft of a Rembrandt, Baker trails Mac to England and then Scotlnad where the scottish outlaw seems poised for an even bigger heist. Somewhere along the way, we realize that Jones' charachter isn't all she seems, especially when we see her at work - hunched over a computer terminal at an office that looks like identical to any other being used by the NSA or the CIA. Virginia, it seems has plans of her own. When she hooks up with Mac and Aaron Thibadeaux (Ving Rhames - who supplies all the high tech that Mac needs to get past high-tech security devices) our suspicions are confirmed - or are they? Is Virginia's now revealed darker side only a mask to get Mac to believe her? Aaron has his doubts, but then we see his double agenda as well. Helping Mac lift a priceless Chinese mask from a seemingly impregnable museum, she persuades him to help pull off an apparently more lucrative heist - cyber-robbery of an immense Malaysian bank on the eve of Y2K. Will their pin-point plans miss a detail in a way that spells disaster? Or will a last minute treachery destroy them? I couldn't really get myself to care. Each of the main charachters, it seems has a secret identity, but we're supposed to be so busy seeing them try to beat the clock that we're supposed to be too busy to decide for ourselves. The other charachters seem just like props - almost cardboard cut-out who wander across TV screens and other security devices to say "hmmm, I guess everything looks okay" while they're getting robbed blind. What's left is a series of action sequences that look pretty slick - almost too slick. Like a true thief's work, they leave no traces, and nothing sticks in your head (although Catherine Zeta Jone's limber maneauverings are pretty compelling). Still, it's worth a night's rental, bearing in mind that I didn't see the similarly premised "Thomas Crown Affair".

Summary: Catherine Zeta-Jones beats Rene Russo
Review: If you look back to the two 007 giants Sean Connery & Pierce Brosnan, both acted similar movies in the same year "Entrapment" & "The Thomas Crown Affair". And both movies and actors were perfect but what makes this movie better than the other is simply Catherine Zeta-Jones! This type of movies requires wild beauty melt into an adventurous spirit, and Catherine Zeta-Jones had both! This movie is very entertaining, and gets you very suspecious all through the continuous surprising events! Enjoy it..!
