Entrapment (1999) **
Directed by Jon Amiel. With Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Ving Rhames. An ordinary caper flick about an insurance investigator (Zeta-Jones) teaming up with a seasoned art thief (Connery) to pull off a daring bank robbery. The first hour, set mostly in the medieval Scottish fortress of Castle Duart, is hopelessly tedious. Then, the film moves to Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur (the world's tallest buildings) for a moderately exciting climax. But since Zeta-Jones is young enough to be Connery's granddaughter, don't expect much sexual chemistry between the leads.
