An
insurance agent sent to catch a wily master-thief with his hand in
the cookie jar proposes a plot to steal a valuable mask, insisting
that she be able to come along. The thief is skeptical but trains
her rigorously, while never quite being sure which side she is
playing for. He'd better figure it out, since she also wants him to
get involved in a plot to skim about $8 billion dollars from the
world market.
ENTRAPMENT
is an old-fashioned caper given glossy and modern treatment, and
while nothing special, does manage to deliver enough entertainment to
deem it worthwhile viewing. Connery and Zeta-Jones are very
watchable, and are probably the main reason why the film works
somewhat. There are a few twists and turns along the way, none of it
very convincing, but the entire premise is so ludicrous that by the
time the twist ending is introduced, it seems to fit. Rather
forgettable, but enjoyable enough as a time-killer.
