She's not who she appears to be. He's not who he appears to be. The people sitting in the row in front of you aren't who they appear to be, either. It's that kind of movie.

In the end, Entrapment's cleverly convoluted plot is its least confusing aspect.

It is strangely paced (especially in the beginning), always confusing to follow, and extremely awkward as a romance.

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

Aspires to be nothing more than a bit of glamorous nonsense, but although it has done all right by the glamour, it has perhaps done too well by the nonsense.

...the stars are trapped in a series of nonsensical shenanigans and whiz-bang hardware wars.

The plot grinds tediously trying to twist and surprise, but each turn is hollow and contrived!

Quickly gets bogged down in a flaccid romance that seems about as genuine as Bob Dole in a Viagra commercial, and has even worse dialogue.
