Summary: I never had a favorite movie before I saw this one!
Review: This movie is breathtaking. I was completely expecting yet *another* millennium-based, end-of-the-world film...however I was pleasantly surprised, and impressed. The millennium does play a huge role, but I don't mind, because it's for an original, "impossible but doable" cause. Just think: $8 billion. I would tolarate the millennium cliche for $8 billion...especially since the way in which Gin and Mac do it is unbelieveable!

The scenes themselves are incredible. You could probably watch a few individual scenes by themselves and get a pretty nice thrill, they're so great. I was completely hooked after the first two minutes of the opening sequence. (That was cool. Just cool.) And then there is the rather (in)famous part in which we have Gin prancing around, blindfolded, between rows of red yarn. Now that was classic...and possibly the most erotic, no-touching-involved scene that I have seen in my life. (The music in that scene is great--suspensful, heart-wrenching. The soundtrack in general is great for this movie.) And when they pull off the actual break-in, that's even better! And of course, who can forget the incredibly sweet scene near the end where Gin and Mac get in a dancing position and waltz their way through the lazer beams? The entire climax of the movie itself is breathtaking. Ingenius.

The plot is yet another perk. I mean, I so thought I knew how this movie was going to end. Of course, it did end the way I thought it would (it's a good ending. I'm glad it turned out that way), but thing is, there were so many unforseeable twists and turns in the story, that by the time we actually get to the end, it doesn't seem nearly so predictable anymore. This is your classic cat-and-mouse movie where the hunter becomes the hunted and vice versa. I like Gin's strong girl character (hey, scaling the side of a steel support beam in highheels is enough to make me go wow) and I like how the plot keeps you on your toes. You never know just who is who until the end. Entrapment is definately going on in this movie, by everyone to everyone! Deception...I love it.

Buy this movie. It's sexy, clever, and unpredictable, with some great one-liners. It is, in a word, "perfect."

Summary: Boring, good sleep though
Review: Don't waste your time. The only reason Sean Connery was in this movie was because he directed it otherwise HE would have been home sleeping.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This video brings you into the world of high-tech theft!
Review: This movie is awesome! Full of action, adventure and suspense. It brings you into the lives of two master theifts. It gives you a good idea about what being a theif is like. Sean and Cathrine are awesome. A awesome movie for all!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good B movie!
Review: It is never quite clear who is entrapping and/or conning and/or double-crossing whom. The general impression of the plot is fuzzy - it should have been cleared up. Miss Zeta Jones is very beautiful and attractive young lady who it is pleasure to watch. In Zorro she was a convincing fencer, in Entrapment she is not convincing as a contortionist or an acrobat. Sean Connery is old, OLD! I do not write this from youthful hubris, I'm over seventy myself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SnapDragon
Review: Do not be fooled by those reviewers that would lead you to believe that this is not a truly excellent movie. I'm a very hard person to please, but this movie captivated my awareness from the opening scene. One should not try to classify this movie as being in the same movie genre as James Bond, as the pace and storylines differ. After reading other reviews, it appeared that people were disappointed they only see Connery as James Bond. Don't be fooled, Entrapment is a wonderful, tantalizing adventure.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dreadful
Review: The only reason to see this movie is to admire Catherine Zeta-Jones' immense talent, and I'm not talking about her acting here. Otherwise, the plot is just too farfetched and the story develops much too slowly to create any real interest in it. I kept hitting the 'time remaining' button on my VCR to see how much longer I had to endure that farce.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terrible Chemistry
Review: Even though Sean is a man's man, you still have a hard time believing that these 2 will ever hook up. You are constantly afraid that these 2 will be involved in a love scene. Separately, say Sean and Money Penny and Catherine and Antonio Banderas, okay; together no thanks!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF THE BEST ACTION AND SUSPENSE FILMS I'VE EVER SEEN
Review: Two of the sexiest (and talented) people in the world wrapped up one of the best "edge of your seat" movies I've seen. This one will keep you guessing right up to the last minute of the film. I ordered this movie 5 minutes after I finished watching it. Rent it to watch - then - buy it ! I know you'll want to see it again.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A movie I wanted to like, but...
Review: So this is what James Bond does when he comes out of retirement? This is a flick I couldn't get into, even in dvd format. Looking more like a father and daughter, Connery and Zeta-Jones never generate the electricity that say, Brosnon and Russo have in Thomas Crown Affair. I agree with another reader that the stars were miscast. Jones never really gets into character, probably too concious of wanting to look perfect every time she's in a scene. I'm a Connery fan, but the old dog has just simply run out of tricks. We've seen them all. Yes, the theft and the finalé may be worth the price of a rental, but don't buy this, unless you enjoy seeing a 60-some year old man running around with a woman half his age. Ring a bell? (Nicholson and Hunt in As Good As It Gets-what was the attraction there?)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What anamorphic really means...
Review: Great movie for anyone who likes the lure of criminal activities. One thing I'd like to clear up is the definition of anamorphic. One of the most confusing terms of DVD has to be the anamorphic 16x9 enhancement. DVD has the capability to store a lot more image information than your regular TV set can display, even though not all discs actually support this feature. So called 16x9 anamorphic TV sets (so can computer monitors if you're using a DVD-ROM) can use this additional information to create a higher resolution image, resulting in a much sharper and more detailed picture. Since 16x9 screens have a widescreen ratio themselves, they do not have to bother about the black bars at the top and bottom of a widescreen movie and can thus stretch the image to use the full height of the display. If your TV does not support 16x9 enhancements, the movie will simply be displayed in widescreen. Also anyone who is a Gillian Anderson (Scully from the X-Files) fan I recommend the movie "The Turning". If you like Gillian you won't be disappointed. And be sure to get it on DVD for the best quality picture.
