Can you blame this for pinning everything on the allegedly unbridled chemistry between a barely ambulatory Connery, playing only the 500th master thief to go by the nickname "Mac" and a 40-years-his-junior Zeta-Jones? On paper this must've seemed like a classy no-brainer but in practice Jon Amiel's thuddingly literal direction, some surprisingly cheap-looking production design, and everyone's smug satisfaction with not much more than endless arbitrary twists just makes this feel lazy on top of being shockingly dull. The only reason anyone remembers this movie is for the shot of the girl's ass in the trailer.

I can die in peace, I have seen Entrapment.
This was dumb and humorless. Except for the butt shot. That was smart and funny.

Another movie viewing spurned by messageboard discussion. In this case, it was brought up during discussion of other films & guilt over not viewing certain cult classics when played theatrically. One specific example was someone paying to view Mercury Rising on the big screen instead of The Big Lebowski. Then, someone mentioned Entrapment as silly late 90’s entertainment, which resulted in someone else broaching what is best known about this from those not having seen the film: THAT SHOT in the trailer of Catherine Zeta-Jones… yes, totally gratuitous & showing off her assets because times were different back then.
I don’t know if calling the movie “dumb” is fair; “absurd,” however… it’s slick entertainment featuring beautiful people as Zeta-Jones works for an…

Entrapment is a sexy heist film about stealing ancient artifacts and billions worth of dollars. But despite having surprising twists and well-geared stunts, Entrapment is trapped in its own rhetorics. Lead star Sean Connery disappoints in the acting department too - weighing Entrapment down with a whiny/ strange interpretation of his character. Connery had an ugly, burned out chemistry with Catharine Zeta-Jones too (who dazzled in almost every scene). Add the 40-year gap between these actors and you'd find the romantic angle icky and forced.
Granted, Entrapment is a heist film through and through, with death defying action pieces and well-explained strategic planning - but all in all, Jon Amiel’s heist movie lacks blaze, atmosphere, and excitement.

I've always considered Sir Sean Connery to be one of those guys who when push came to shove, made mostly the right decisions. In Jon Amiel's Entrapment he was nearly 70 years old and was lined up alongside a 30 year old Catherine Zeta-Jones at arguably her hottest. Now according to my wife, it wouldn't have mattered how old Connery was, he'd still have made her knickers wet, but Sir Sean was honest and realistic enough to know that a sex scene between Zeta-Jones' Gin and his master thief Mac would have looked ridiculous. He still looked great, when didn't he, but the years were catching up on the Scottish icon who wasn't quite as nimble on his feet as…

The whole premise had me thinking of “The Thomas Crown Affair” and then Ving Rhames shows up with bags of heist gear and I think I’m in “Mission: Impossible” so this was a very confusing viewing experience.

Fans of sexy who’s-playing-whom art heist thrillers were eating so well in 1999.
-
I haven't seen Catherine Zeta-Jones in anything for a while, I'd forgotten just how appalling an actress she is. This is not great but Sean Connery just makes me laugh and makes it watchable.

20+ years on, Entrapment remains a fantastically dull effort from director Jon Amiel. The direction is slack, the script looses its sense of forward momentum repeatedly, and the production value makes the end product look cheap. Then there’s the 40 year age difference between the leads, which renders the romantic subplot DOA. No wonder people only remember Entrapment as the movie with the “great shot” of CZJ’s ass.
All that said, Entrapment still has a completely unhinged and perverse performance from Maury Chaykin as a criminal kingpin. Maury doesn’t wear pants, sometimes wears a shirt/diaper combo, sweats a lot, wears a lot makeup, is tweaking out ALL THE TIME, and has an Iron Maiden poster behind what appears to be his throne. Entrapment should have focused on him instead…
