i do not go into entrapment expect too much and and well and there wasn not much . i have come to the conclusion that there be only two reason why people may like this movie and both have to do with the two leading star . sean connery be universally see a the best look old man and his scottish charm be of course also one of his attraction . then there be catherine zeta jones and a red hot newcomer whose luscious figure would make any man want to watch . entrapment be a perfect example of a hollywood star film and which have the sole purpose of rake in as much cash a possible . any attraction to the film be base entirely on it star . i saw the movie with a number of people who like it and and when i be discuss it with them and all of their praise be base on the two lead . the director and jon amiel be generally an unknown film maker to most people . he have do copycat and sommersby and both of which be average film and whose success can be attribute to the star . entrapment do not contain any breakthrough in term of edit or cinematography and and it certainly do not have an original plot . we have see the formula that make this movie many time and perhaps in vary inflection and but essentially the same . so what leave and entertainment value . many people read this review may think that i do not look at film in term of entertainment value . not the case . there be many film that i have give excellent review to base entirely on the merit of entertainment . two recent example that i can think of be cruel intention and go . but entrapment lack anything close to what might have be an entertaining or interesting plot . the idea of base a heist that will only work if it be conduct on new year of the millennium be a great idea . i would love to see a film about the meticulous planning and the execution of such an endeavor . entrapment try to accomplish too much and end up leave such huge plot hole that the film feel rush and absurd . gin ( catherine zeta jones ) take on the role of an insurance agent or undercover thief who hook up with robert ( sean connery ) a rich career criminal to execute a couple of huge international heist . they train together in robert castle . there be a few scene here that i enjoy . i especially like the scene of gin practice avoid laser simulate by strand of yarnof course robert and gin have a romantic tension that be complicate by the rule of be a thief . you can not trust each other if youre romantically involve and right . at first and they do not seem to get along . hollywood love to put together two misfit who have to put aside their difference to accomplish some task . this formula have mark the cop buddy film for year . take for instance the first lethal weapon . mel gibson and danny glover at first hate each other . and in die hard represent with a vengeance bruce willis and samuel jackson do not at first get along and but in the end their difference be put aside and they emerge a friend . entrapment also exist a a catalyst to hollywood ongoing trend to have romantic encounter between young and extremely attractive woman and and much old men . there be a forty year age difference between sean connery and catherine zeta zone . other recent example of this trend include michael douglas and gyneth paltrow in a perfect murder and harrison ford and anne heche in six day seven night . this trend be not necessarily a negative thing and but in entrapment and it just too blatantly obvious and cliched . entrapment be a movie that have potential and but get lose in a number of cliche and it hurriedness . connery and jones do have chemistry and look good together and but forget the romantic tension while leave it for romantic film . forget the first heist while it feel like filler to keep u occupy until the final scene and climax . a strong film could have be make with the planning of the year 2000 heist . because it would be the heist of the century and so many idea could have be develop which would have make for a much more entertaining film . out of .
