Critics Consensus

A poorly developed plot weighs down any potential chemistry between the movie's leads.

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

The Post NZ

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

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Watching again in 2025- it's still decent though MUCH better when it was out. The gadgets and what not are a bit hokey and dated but Seans always great and Katherine is maybe the hottest woman to ever live. The story is cool, shot nicely. This is a movie that's a keeper but it helps if you can have the context of when it was made.

Chemistry, sure. Twists, affirmative. Zeta Jones breathing heavy with a blindfold whilst avoiding alarm laser lines, unfortunately also there.

An ok romantic movie that deals with two thieves do a heist together and the entire plot is will they or wont they get together.
