Heist film with reliable plot. Teens OK.

It's a superficial but entertaining caper that's a good, old-fashioned yarn.

Globe and Mail

Lives up to its title -- spend 100-plus minutes with this lacklustre thing and you definitely feel snookered.

Rated: 1.5/4

Entrapment has endured in many people’s hearts and minds precisely because of (or is that despite?) its preposterous plot and “memorable” imagery.

Rated: 3/5

Herald Sun (Australia)

The film itself isn't too bad as far as Hollywood thrillers go, but if Connery wasn't always there defying the ageing process, you'd probably be reaching for the remote control.

Rated: 3/5

If not for the sparks of the May-December romance between Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones, audiences might struggle to remember the bland and convoluted plot development of Entrapment, along with its almost devoid-of-interest action sequences.

Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones's lack of chemistry is a massive miss as it's a significant part of the movie's plot; however, the heist parts are entertaining.

When this movie was made Sean Connery was 40 years older than Catherine Zeta Jones. It's hard to believe this relationship. The story also have a lot of things that could be questioned. For example, how can FBI arrest people in Asia.

In retrospect, it's the acting and the plot that leaves much to be desired and after the premiere it seemed like a great wow, Today only 7

I'm not sure what the people that rated this movie so low were expecting exactly, but this is one of my favorite movies. If you love bank heist genres, then this movie does not disappoint. It's action packed with an Oscar winning all star cast.
