Entrapment casts Catherine Zeta-Jones as an insurance investigator anxious to earn her spurs in the business by capturing notorious thief Sean Connery. Connery is looking every bit sixty plus years of age, but he's in good shape and while he lives pretty good as is, he's always up for a challenge.Zeta-Jones is sent by her boss Will Patton to capture Connery. But Connery is up to anything she can throw at him. Her best bet could be to capture him in the act of pulling a job, but after a while just who is leading who on.Entrapment boasts some nice location cinematography in Connery's native Scotland and in Kuala Lampur where the big caper takes place. It's a bank job, but in the computer age it's something different if you're going after a big score. Connery showing his age asks quite innocently 'where's the loot?'How will it go for Zeta-Jones? Well bad guys seem to have more fun and Patton is such a drip. Ving Rhames is in this as well and his role is most ambiguous. The aging Sean Connery still has some great moves in Entrapment.

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

As I put in the title I did not find much in this film. I have to say that Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery are trying very hard to do something out of paper thin screen play and not very interesting plot.I tries to like this film but I could not. Since I have to fill ten lines of text let me just say that Cathrine Zeta-Jones is a fantastic actress and very good looking. I am sorry that she has so many health and other problems. There are rarely any people today who do not.The scene in the end with the trains was cute otherwise it was not that interesting film. I would recommend that you watch it if you do not have anything better to do in your life.

Virginia Baker (Catherine Zeta-Jones) works for an insurance company, and suspects old master thief Robert MacDougal (Sean Connery) is responsible for the latest improbable theft of a high price artwork. She tracks him down to propose stealing a valuable mask.This has a very weak cat and mouse game between CZJ and Conner. It's more innuendo and sexual gamesmanship than actual compelling story. None of it is worthwhile. The two leads would work better as a grandfather granddaughter team, and has as much sexual chemistry as that. It's an excuse for CZJ to roll around in skin tight clothing and get caught naked. As for the capers and exotic locations, they are a bit of fun distraction. It's kind of sad to see Sean Connery in this.
