Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Mihai Toma After a famous and very expensive painting is stolen by a hi-tech criminal, an insurance employee is sent by her company to spy on him. Persuaded by her looks, the thief agrees to make a team with her in a new, even mightier theft, using state of the art technology.It's a movie designed to impress the viewers, with its fancy gimmicks and accessories while taking advantage of two good actors in an attempt to create a suspenseful atmosphere. It manages to do so in an important manner but it is simply let down by an average plot and bad dialog. They are very simple, linear and predictable, making the sequences between the robberies a real pain. You can imagine it as a soap opera, disguised as a film, fact which is simply unacceptable in this type of movie where the main characters are supposedly robbing very high value objects. The producers also tried to do something different with the finale but they simply failed to impress or at least provide a bit of satisfaction. Besides these problems, the whole technology part is way too exaggerated, making a lot of aspects of it seem improbable or impossible, thus spoiling a bit the excitement.Unfortunately, it's an average movie which had a good idea and two good actors but failed to implement it and link all the aspects into an uniform final product.
touser2004 Great film .Clever,exciting,with great chemistry between Connery and Zeta Jones.The soundtrack is brilliant .The plot is plausible ,as film plots go. The last time I saw an age gap relationship that I could believe was Charade with Hepburn and Grant -this film is in that class. Watch this film if you can .
Python Hyena Entrapment (1999): Dir: Jon Amiel / Cast: Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Ving Rhames, Will Patton, Maury Chaykin: Well crafted action film about being caught but not so much within a crime but within a relationship. It is about technique when committing theft. Sean Connery plays a elderly thief who steals art paintings and Catherine Zeta-Jones plays an agent assigned to bring him in but she wishes to steal the Chinese mask and needs his help. Detailed plot that gets lost in its action scenes particularly in the conclusion where nothing makes sense. Well crafted by director Jon Amiel whose credits include Copycat and The Man Who Knew Too Little. He is successful when it comes to different genres and subjects. Action is exhilarating but it is the psychological aspects of the thieves that draws us in. Connery is excellent as a thief unreeling charm and intelligence as if baiting. Zeta-Jones is graceful in her romantic curiosity and physical skill. Supporting roles are unfortunately cardboard. Ving Rhames and Will Patton appear in flat supporting roles that are beneath the two leads that overshadow it all. This is a film that depends on the strength of its leads because other roles pass through with very little to make them broad or interesting. Clever in its examination of crime and skill with luring romance and stunning sets that may captivate and entrap viewers. Score: 7 / 10
SnoopyStyle 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.
