 Thriller October 30, 2007
Excellent mivie with twists and turns. A Sean Connery clasic with stellar star Catherine Zeta-Jones
Entrapment (Special Edition) August 15, 2007
I liked this movie when it first came out. I liked it even more this time. Sean Connery is the best.
 TV cuts ruin too many movies July 30, 2007
Charming adventure tale with a fabulous mixture of star personalities. This movie illustrates the old adage that "Youth & enthusiam will seldom prevail over age & experience".

This is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. Yes, I realize that "Entrapment" isn't an Academy Award-winning caliber film. It isn't Catherine Zeta Jones or Sean Connery's best work, either, and the "sexual tension" that exists between their characters is a bit farfetched, to say the least...but I still love this movie! Despite the 600-year age difference between them, Connery and Zeta Jones play off each other brilliantly in this fun and suspenseful film about two master thieves who team up for two huge jobs. There are plenty of twists and turns in this film, and it will keep you guessing until the very end. (It will also make you wish that Zeta Jones could go back in time and play a Bond girl in "Goldfinger" or something...she and a much younger Connery would have been smoking hot on screen!)

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.
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" ...
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.
