Amazon.co.uk Review
Sean Connery plays a master thief thought to be long retired, while Catherine Zeta-Jones is his foil, a hotshot insurance investigator assigned to his case. They both have a little something to hold over each other's heads, until it turns out that Zeta-Jones is a professional art thief herself and is playing on both sides of the fence. At first they eye each other with mutual distrust until they team up for a job, which goes off without a hitch. Inevitably their prickly relationship begins to thaw somewhat, and the two become attracted to each other as they plan out the massive Y2K bank scam that is the movie's climax (complete with sequel-ready ending). PIEntrapment/I plays somewhat like a 1970s caper movie revamped for the gadget-happy high-tech '90s. The plot takes a few too many laboured twists and turns, and the chemistry between the two leads is nearly non-existent, though both carry on gamely in their parts. On the other hand, there is some genuine suspense in many scenes as they go about their business, dripping with whiz-bang burglary devices. Zeta-Jones, of course, is drop-dead gorgeous, and Connery is as reliable as always in his role. The fairly flat editing and direction tends to drag the film down somewhat, but fans of caper movies, high-tech thrillers and the two leads should find plenty to like in this film. --IJerry Renshaw, Amazon.com/I

5 out of 5 stars Doable Millenium Heist: Value 8 billion, One dollar and 67 Cents   March 30, 2007
  0 out of 2 found this review helpful

Stealing the Rembrandt was just for practice. Ginny Barker (Catherine Zeta-Jones) who worked for Waverly Security had a much larger goal in mind robbing the International Clearance Bank during the Millenium Celebratrion on New Year's Eve in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia but she needed help. She had been planning this event for a few years ... Hector Cruz (Will Patton) head of security had noticed she had no friends. She had no social life. She worked long hours doing statistical calculations and creating computer graphics examining all angles of the rooms and items her company insured and protected. He worried about her. She convinced Hector to let her attempt to catch and bring to justice the highly successful thief: McDougall (Sean Connery). He was a handsome foxy older gentleman, a wealthy Scotsman who had no need for the money but was a thief for the challenge of it. He was in the gallery where the Rembrandt was showcased during its opening exhibit, he was the likliest suspect. Hector was worried because two agents had previously disappeared trying to apprehend McDougall but Gin Barker convinced him because she was a woman ... she could do it. Despite misgivings, he gave her the chance to try. br /br /Sean Connery played the aging gray haired foxy thief to perfection. He lived in Scotland, in a castle on an isolated island. He thought he had everything ... until he met Gin Barker. She followed him about in London, and watched him wander into a computer company, where he managed to steal five chips easily worth a million dollars each. She was exhausted as she returned to her hotel room, only to discover her luggage missing. She was too tired to report it immediately, pealed off her clothes and and prepared for bed ... totally naked because her dressing gown was among the missing items. She was shocked to discover someone staring at her in the dark. It was Mac (McDougall). He asked why was she following him around London. She then presented to him her grandiose plans. He mentioned his rules: "first we try, then we trust" and the corollary, "it's strictly business" ... br /br /First he tested her and when she passed all his challenges, beyond his wildest expectations, he took her up on the job. They trained for the highest value monetary robbery of all time. This film appeals on multiple levels: it includes mystery, romance, tension, unexpected twists and turns in the plot and exotic locales, London, Scotland and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The May - December romance and relationship which builds from total distrust, to mutual respect, to outright admiration is fun to watch. Catherine Zeta-Jones is believable, beautiful and in fantastic form as she executes gymnastic maneuvers that would make a Gold Medal Female Olympics Champion blush with pride. Sean Connery delivers a superb performance and also delivers outstanding one line responses to her confident approach. He says, "I don't like surprises." She replies, "There won't be any." He countermands, "Trust me, there always are." This is a highly enjoyable film and receives my highest recommendation for acting, story-line, plot development, action, and intrigue.

br / To me, This movie was more introspective. Yes, they are planning to steal but to me the conflict was their chemistry as they continued to work together and encounter obstacles. Definitely for the sophisticated lover who could feel the intensity between them without seeing them slobber all over each other. They both yearn for each other but being seen together, being close could be a risk. Knowing that they've both done this before, a game of trust plays a role, also. Gin is infatuated with his brilliant mind and Mac has obviously never met a woman who's as dedicated as he is without going for his money. Getting into their heads, you feel a sense of longing and mutual respect.br /It's obvious that Mac is hard on her simply to MASK his love for her and keep on the straight and narrow because it could mean their lives.

Good, but not all that great. The film begins with a "McNeal Descender": as far as I know, no such thing actually exists. There are more problems to come...pFirst, it is made clear that Connery and Zeta-Jones fly by helicopter from central London to the Scottish Highlands - a distance totalling hundreds of miles. I doubt very much whether a helicopter has the capacity to carry enough fuel to fly such a distance. Though they may have landed to take-on fuel, this seems a little far fetched. pSecondly, many of the scenes set in the UK feature American-style security guards-come-policemen: distinguishable as such on account of their uniform, and carrying of a torch, nightstick, gun etc. NO security guards in the UK carry guns, and very few carry nightsticks. I'm also yet to see any in this country who dress like their American counterparts. It seems as though the filmmakers have carried out no research into the UK, and filmed all the scenes which supposedly take place in Britain in some American studio.pThirdly, the film finishes at "Pudu Station", (in Kuala Lumpur, for those who haven't seen the movie). Given that the film's ending is, arguably, one of its best features, one would assume that the filmmakers would make some effort on the set, etc. In reality they do not. It is glaringly obvious that they have taken a small American station, and stuck a few "Pudu" signs up. The set is riddled with advertisement boards which display nothing but a blank sheet. Clearly the filmmakers put no effort into this set. What a total disappointment.pThe film IS worth watching, but there are a problems with believing some of the events. I was pretty disappointed.
