    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This movie came in $2 million below its budget. Co-producer Rhonda Tollefson credits this to producer Sir Sean Connery's thrifty Scottish ways. Connery drove his own car instead of hiring a driver, and flew on commercial planes instead of using private ones so that all of the money would show up on-screen.
    • Goofs
      When Gin is stealing the mask, she carefully raises her leg to avoid a laser, and then moves both arms right through the same beam.
    • Quotes

      Gin: I said this is called entrapment.

      Mac: No, actually it's called blackmail. Entrapment is what cops do to thieves.

    • Alternate versions
      The British Board of Film Classification state that "substitutions" were made before a 12 certificate could be awarded. The edits were to change the line "Sit the fuck down" to "Sit your butt down". The DVD subtitles contain the original line, and the Australian DVD uses the same cut master. The cuts were waived for the 2007 DVD release.

    Can stealing be an art form? Convincing look.
    This movie is one of those that keeps the characters purpose twisting and turning. You have to second guess the ending twice. The vivacious Catherine Zeta-Jones plays a top notch insurance agent that specializes in art theft. She takes on the mission of catching a master thief(Sean Connery)by convincing him that she too is a supreme art thief.

    Just enough action to keep your attention. Wonderful scenery and the more than just beautiful Zeta-Jones makes for advanced heartbeat. The age difference of the two stars fits the script like a glove and gives a fleeting glimpse of romance.

    Camera work is intense. The big chase/escape scene is awesome.

    Also appearing are: Ving Rhames, Maury Chaykin and Will Patton.
