Entrapment (1999)

Sean Connery has “shtill got it” and Catherine Zeta-Jones is quite alluring (even with her little raccoon eyes) in this heist (though I’d say cat burglar) thriller. CZJ’s insurance detective wants to finger SC’s known art thief, so she inveigles her way into a partnership (which he makes a rule never to muddle with romance). She begins her training under his tutelage, esp. to wind her way (like a cat) through a mockup of the motion-sensor laser beams that protect their priceless quarry, locked in a vault to which only she knows the code. Sufficient plot twists and chemistry make this a movie I would watch again (even if Sean does not speak the line “There can only be one!”). It was better than expected – more Maiden Heist than James Bond, but it held my interest and could do so again. Entrapped! 4 stars. (4-21-2016)
