Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Prismark10 Entrapment is a solid heist thriller, certainly implausible, the unusual Kuala Lumpur locale keeps it interesting when at the time the Petronas Towers were the tallest building in the world, now they are just the tallest twin towers in the world!Virginia Baker (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is an investigator for a US insurance company. She is also a secret master burglar. Her admiration is for her quarry, legendary thief Robert MacDougal (Sean Connery.)Instead of tracking her down she joins forces with him to rob $8 billion dollars from the Petronas Towers on Millennium Eve. However we can sense more twists as Baker's boss senses a double cross and MacDougal also has an agenda of his own.Fellow Celtic actors Connery and Zeta Jones seem to have a good chemistry but the age difference between them really makes the film slightly nauseating although Zeta Jones does like a mature man as she went on to marry Michael Douglas.

SimonJack "Entrapment" is one of a new breed of crime-action-thrillers. It is one of high tech crimes, usually involving computers and electronics and gadgetry of all sorts. While there was an occasional film of the high tech of the time as far back as the 1950s, this sub-genre burst forth by the end of the 20th century. From the late 1980s to beyond the first decade of the 21st century, a plethora of high tech crime films was made. But after nearly 30 years, there's hardly any new idea for a plot. And, the genre began to get old and worn out within 20 years. I saw this film when it came out in theaters in 1999, but couldn't remember that much about it. With me, if a movie isn't memorable, it's not very good or one I would rate very highly. By the same token, if I don't remember a film as being bad, I may watch one I had seen before. That's the case with this movie. After watching it again now, I guess that I might have rated it one star higher than I do now. Because that was 1999, and the high tech crime caper plot hadn't yet quite worn out. And, this film packs a lot of crime caper action into it, with a good cast. Even then, at age 69 Sean Connery was too old to be playing these types of roles. My six stars are mostly for the suspense in the plot over the question of trust among thieves.The action makes this film mildly entertaining. But this film just reaffirms to me again, how the modern bent for fast movies with wild action require so little acting talent of the cast. Perhaps, one day when we run through the newer fads of films (now, much fantasy and other- worldly stuff), Hollywood will again make some quality comedies and real life dramas in which most of those in the acting profession can once again ply their trade.

davidshort10 The presence of Sean Connery can often rescue a dire movie but not when it is a truly dire movie because one of the main actors, Catherine Zeta Jones, has not talent whatsoever. This Welsh woman can mimic an American accent but that is all she does, mimic not convince, nor can she convince us that she is a savvy , experienced, hard-nosed insurance investigator. Without her, the movie might have been a success, but her presence was required because she was married to Michael Douglas. She has never provided a memorable performance in any of her movies, and not even in the little English TV comedy drama from which she sprang. She cannot even make the light romance with a much older man, Connery, believable, even though she had plenty of experience with her aged husband.

Mischief810 I picked this up from the bargain bin at the local discount store. It was not bad. Zeta-Jones and Connery are both talented thespians, but honestly, the first hour or so of this flick kind of bogs down. It eventually picks up. Also honestly, my wife enjoyed this one more than I did.The special effects are pretty cool. The scenery is also quite nice. The acting is so good that it makes up for a script that, had it been better, would have made this one a slam dunk blockbuster.We both enjoyed it, but I don't think I would have paid a full ticket price.This is a heist, action and romance plot; much along the lines of The Thomas Crowne Affair. Like the two Thomas Crowne films, it includes some interesting, even if predictable plot twists.If you run across this in the bargain bin, or if it's available via Amazon or Netflix, it's probably worth a watch. Not really good, but not really bad either.6/10
