Entrapment

Summary: Action-packed movie, but typical lousy transfer by Fox
Review: First of all, the DVD transfer is *NOT* anamorphic. I repeat it is NOT 16:9 enhanced. The film is 2.35:1 letterboxed (to 4:3.) Another Titanic mess-up with the packaging, you could say.

The transfer quality is average, but what do you expect for a cheap Fox SS/SL (single-side/single-layer) conversion. Minor compression artifacts are noticeable throughout the movie, the dark scenes exhibit some film grain (but that's FILM grain, not commpressino artifact.)

Oh what about the movie, well if you like Sean Connery, you'll like Entrapment. The plot has its share of twists and turns (and loopholes, glaring omissions, misrepresented technology ... "Y2K" give me a break)

Summary: great movie
Review: I love the DVD programs and movies, however I hate the fact that you pay all that money for larger screens and then have to settle for only the wide screen format. It sucks, put them out in dual format so people can get what they want, not just what the film makers want.

Summary: An original, yet classic action packed movie!
Review: Entrapment is no doubt one of my favorite movies. It has the best motion picture score I have ever heard. The action sequences are great, and with so many plot twist and turns, it'll keep you guessing till the very end. This movie is suitable for all ages; everyone will like it.

Summary: This film is PANTS!
Review: How can anyone believe that old pensioner type duffer Sean "I live in the States and pretend to be Scottish" Connery could possibly pull someone like Catherine Zeta Jones? Maybe a similarity in acting capability won them over? The plot reminded me of what a 9 year old might write as a summer school essay ie. someone who has watched a lot of action films in a Hollywood style and ripped them all off so you don't have to think about what is going on.

Summary: CONNERY JUST HASN'T LOST THAT TOUCH....
Review: Actually, Sean Connery has had one or two films recently where I feel his talent was wasted. "The Avengers" most notably, however with "Entrapment" we see him shine again much like he did in "The Rock" and "Just Cause" (although his age shows a bit more on this one) The film itself has an excellent plot line and not much detail is left to chance. Catherine Zeta-Jones is also superb coming off her role in the "The Mask of Zorro" She is one female actress that I feel will increasingly become a major figure among leading ladies over the next few years. She has the talent and the looks to boot. A rarity these days. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone looking to build a quality collection.

Summary: Average action flick; very lopsided.
Review: I called Entrapment "lopsided" because its first act is a complete bust, confusing and uninteresting, but its final sequences make for very effective action filmmaking.

Skipping the fact that this movie is trying to generate heat between two actors two generations apart (30-year-old Catherine Zeta-Jones and 70-something Sean Connery), this movie succeeds on quite a few levels -- and falls flat on others.

It was surprising for me to discover that the script was co-written by Ron Bass. For the first 30 minutes are utter chaos -- not giving the audience the information it needs, stingy with exposition, and quite frankly badly scripted, staged, and acted. Catherine Zeta-Jones comes alive onscreen, though, once she is paired with Connery -- faced with the task of matching Connery's legendary screen presence, she faces up to the task admirably, projecting charisma and a good degree of emotional authenticity. Not a great performance, but a solid one. Connery waltzes his way through another not-so-challenging but fun performance.

The execution of the dramatic scenes as well as the set-ups for the scenario were very poorly done by Jon Amiel (Copycat). However, Amiel redeems himself partially by the slam-bang last half hour of the film, where suspense and tension are both high and the stunts have a degree of freshness to them. Worth a look.
