Critic Reviews

  • Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune

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

  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

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

  • Peter Rainer, New York Magazine

  • Nell Minow, Common Sense Media

    Heist film with reliable plot. Teens OK.

  • Anthony L


    Entrapment is exactly what this film is guilty of. It is a snare for all those lured to cinemas by Sean Connery's charm & Catherine Zeta-Jones' bum, and the false promise of an enjoyable crime caper.

  • Thomas B


    a fun action film which you don't have to think too much about. and catherine zeta-jones is hot in leather.
