Critic Reviews

The New York Times - Elvis Mitchell

Combine 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. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh

It's the kind of film Hollywood doesn't make any more, and a pleasant retro diversion. Read full review

Variety - Todd McCarthy

Preposterous whimsy that sort of gets by thanks to lustrous settings, slick production values and, especially, its ultra-attractive stars. Read full review

Entertainment Weekly - Doug Brod

This is one sexy and satisfyingly twisty dance. Read full review

Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington

A 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. Read full review

L.A. Weekly - Ella Taylor

The only decent actors in Entrapment are high-tech tools of global robbery. Read full review

Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten

If it's a good heist movie you're after, there are surely better ways to go than with this limp caper. Read full review

I 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.

This one was the best film they ever made. I cant believe they make a film over my country, Malaysia. Good job!

Their on-screen chemistry is not the most fantastic ever but in the context of the film it works well, the sort of hard-to-get to-and-fro play-by-play. I think the films story is great, a film does not have to contain explosions every few minutes to keep my attention, especially if it is one like Entrapment, that has a crime thriller element. In all, a well rounded movie, it has its downfalls but so does every other. Still enjoyable over 10 years on.… Expand

A nice, fun movie...I would give it a 6.5 but there is no that chance, so I guess I will put a 7 (better than a 6). I loved seeing Katherine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery together. A good mix, and worked well! Good for a relaxing afternoon!

The game of cat and mouse is very nice and gives this movie the pleasant adventure flavor, especially when we combine this with the sequences of the robberies, some of them so incredible that they stink the false (without this bothering us too much). Another nice point that helps keep the interest in the movie is the relative vagueness in which the movie keeps Gin's situation. Only in the end did we clearly see if she is a thief or invented all that to approach Mac and arrest him. In addition, the pair crosses with other dubious characters, whose connections also only clarify in the end.

In spite of all this, its not a particularly deep film and doesn't have a very strong or solid story giving it basis. These basis is the action scenes and adventure/mystery atmosphere, and its around this that the script is developed, not the other way round. The film still has some romance but chemistry between Connery and Zeta Jones is virtually nil and romantic scenes aren't convincing. This doesn't bring any demerit to their sex-appeal, but there are some things that sound false and I think the mood of distrust was fundamental to discarding this attempt to do romance. The remaining cast is limited to what they have to do. The two main actors, combined, support the film successfully. So the end result is a good action/adventure film, with some mystery, charm and elegance, where the biggest absence is a solid story that builds on everything we're seeing on screen.… Expand
