80Connery and Zeta-Jones not only look great together, they work well together.
-
80Combine two stars of this wattage with a lot of techno-talk and elaborate heist plotting and you get plenty of good reasons to pay attention.
-
75The very embodiment of a star vehicle: a movie with a preposterous plot, exotic locations, absurd action sequences, and so much chemistry between attractive actors that we don't care.
-
70It's the kind of film Hollywood doesn't make any more, and a pleasant retro diversion.
-
70Preposterous whimsy that sort of gets by thanks to lustrous settings, slick production values and, especially, its ultra-attractive stars.
-
70There's your intrigue. There's your romance. There's your x factor, by which I mean your willingness to give two appealing stars an incredible break throughout most of the major obstacles between them and a successful robbery.
-
70It's the romantic sparring with Catherine Zeta-Jones as another glamorous thief -- not the unsuspenseful heists -- that makes this silly thriller lightly bearable.
-
60It's too bad that the glamour wears off about halfway through Entrapment, when it stops being a movie about art heists and starts being one about stealing (ho-hum) money.
-
60Entrapment is ostensibly some sort of action film, but perhaps out of deference to its sleepwalking star, it moves slowly and contains very little actual action.
-
60While the film glistens a bit now and again, a closer look reveals you've been diverted not by a diamond but by a genuine synthetic zircon.
-
60With its featherweight premise, casually amoral heroes, and exotic locales, it conjures up an era (the '60s and '70s) when twisty, romantic heist pictures were routinely ground out as tax shelters.
-
60Even the most ardent fans of the natural-born Bond are more apt to be shaken than stirred by the 68-year-old's implausible feats in this inert romantic adventure.
-
This is one sexy and satisfyingly twisty dance.
-
50A wildly expensive movie full of computers, nonsense and violence, a film where wit, romance, elegance -- everything -- is sacrificed on the altar of giganticism, cliche and over-the-top action.
-
50Entrapment is an adventure movie without two brain cells to rub together.
-
50A script that, at its best, is inconsistent, and, at its worst, is laughably implausible and riddled with obvious flaws.
-
50It is strangely paced (especially in the beginning), always confusing to follow, and extremely awkward as a romance.
-
There is not even the slightest trace of freshness or originality in either the script -- which was written by Ron Bass and William Broyles from a story by Michael Hertzberg and Ron Bass -- or in Amiel's stodgy direction.
-
40The stars have zero chemistry and the movie is none too thrilling.
-
40Entrapment ambles lazily through its set-up and features only one (admittedly impressive) stretch of white-knuckle daredevilry as our heroes dangle off the tallest building in the world (which is in Kuala Lumpur, incidentally).
-
40The only decent actors in Entrapment are high-tech tools of global robbery.
-
The stars lack any sort of chemistry, which is too bad, since the script, by the always unreliable Ron Bass (with William Broyles), is intended as a romantic cat-and-mouse fantasy.
-
38The film doesn't work, it ain't charming.
-
30If it's a good heist movie you're after, there are surely better ways to go than with this limp caper.

ChristophA.10I like the film very much. The contrast between love and Thriller is very exited. I like to watch the film everytime it's on TV.
