Entrapment

I quite enjoyed this cyber-crime caper - the two stars have a chemistry that largely gets past the slightly fluffy dialogue and far-fetched plot. Catherine Zeta-Jones is, ostensibly, an insurance operative sent to help catch arch thief "Mac" (Sean Connery) once a valuable Rembrandt is taken from an seemingly impregnable high-rise office. It transpires that she has other fish to fry, however, and before long the poacher and the gamekeeper have a grand design to commit the creme de la creme of computer hacks without getting caught. It's at it's best during the heist planning stages, though sadly falls away a bit during a rather poorly constructed last twenty minutes that also introduces a romance that I found a bit cheesy. A pretty wooden Ving Rhames features - luckily, quite sparingly - as a duplicitous FBI agent but Maury Chaykin is really quite good as the odious, sexually ambiguous fixer "Conrad Greene". Worth a watch.
