The film's substantial weaknesses deflate our enthusiasm and ultimately leave us wishing for a little more substance and a little less plot trickery.

Reviews for Entrapment
The problem is that the movie lacks energy, wit and -- gasp! -- even sex appeal.

The satisfying ending occurs about five minutes before the contrived, tacked-on Hollywood ending.

Most of Entrapment plays out in head-scratching 'Huh? Why? Eh?' moments.

You pack the explosives, the weaponry and the emergency 'chute, and save the Viagra for later.

Top CriticA loosely wound thriller of the dime-a-dozen, no-honor-among-thieves variety.

A fun and completely amiable precursor to the upcoming onslaught of Summer movies.

A top notch cast, an effective score, wonderful photography and a great deal of style!

There are only two reasons to see this movie. Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is drop-dead gorgeous, and the stunts, which are way cool.

A weak thriller!

A snare for all those lured to theaters by Connery's name, Zeta-Jones' beauty, and the false promise of an enjoyable caper film.
