Entrapment is an caper film with a touch of class. Stylish and elegant it's reminiscent of the gentler 50's and 60's thrillers rather than the explosion-heavy recent crop. Without sex, explosions, blood or even bad language (as far as I can recall) it still manages to be fast-paced and entertaining.

Sean Connery portrays Mac, an aging cat-burglar with a legendary reputation. He's the type who steals for the love of the art and a true enjoyment of the artistry of theft. He loves the game. Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Gin, a brilliant and gorgeous insurance agent out to catch him. Or is she?

Before I saw this I expected to be distracted by the age difference, but it's handled so beautifully that it adds to the story instead of detracting. With Connery as the older man the physical attraction is believable and within the storyline it makes even more sense for Gin to be infatuated with this legendary figure. On his part Connery plays the role of a strong man in his twilight years half-attracted and half-bemused by this woman, with a gentle and even paternal edge. It works wonderfully and adds a melancholy touch to what could have otherwise been a tawdry subplot.

The plot itself is fun and exciting enough to carry the movie along. there's enough action and suspense to keep things interesting and the gadgetry is at a level even Bond would be proud of.
