Critics Consensus

A poorly developed plot weighs down any potential chemistry between the movie's leads.

Heist film with reliable plot. Teens OK.

It's a superficial but entertaining caper that's a good, old-fashioned yarn.

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

3/5

Entrapment has endured in many people’s hearts and minds precisely because of (or is that despite?) its preposterous plot and “memorable” imagery.

3/5

The film itself isn't too bad as far as Hollywood thrillers go, but if Connery wasn't always there defying the ageing process, you'd probably be reaching for the remote control.

It pales in every which way when compared with any Bond film.

Very well done. Good and solid writing. Great cinematography and visually appealing. Familiar with more panache and flair, thanks to Connery & Zeta-Jones. Very able cast all delivers convincingly in character. Enough action, twists, double crossing, suspense, drama, emotion and intrigue. Always some sort of classical trailblazer in my books.

There's a pervy shot of Catherine's bum, or a bum double. Aaaand. It's very boring, sorry.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Watching again in 2025- it's still decent though MUCH better when it was out. The gadgets and what not are a bit hokey and dated but Seans always great and Katherine is maybe the hottest woman to ever live. The story is cool, shot nicely. This is a movie that's a keeper but it helps if you can have the context of when it was made.

Chemistry, sure. Twists, affirmative. Zeta Jones breathing heavy with a blindfold whilst avoiding alarm laser lines, unfortunately also there.
