    Storyline

    Edit
    Following the theft of a highly-secured piece of artwork, an agent convinces her insurance agency employers to allow her to wriggle into the company of an aging but active master thief. Connery's burglar takes her on suspiciously and demands rigorous training before their first job together, stealing a highly-valued mask from a chichi party. Their deepening attraction and distrust could tear apart their partnership, but the promise of a bigger prize (some eight billion odd dollars) by Zeta-Jones keeps the game interesting. Only, who's playing with whom? —Lordship <lordship@juno.com>

    Did you know

    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

      Mac: It's impossible. But doable.

    • 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.

    Movie Shouldn't Have Fallen Flat, But It Did
    I have this film two chances and liked it much better the second time. I guess I expected more on the first viewing, but why not? Sean Connery usually is good, Catherine Zeta-Jones was a hot, new commodity at the time, and I usually enjoy heist films.

    This movie had not just one but TWO heists in it, so it should have been really good.....but was fair, at best.

    It just wasn't that entertaining, too flat in too many spots. Connery looked at times like he was just going through the motions. His usual spark was missing. It's not bad....so-so as a thriller goes, but really not memorable and certainly not as dramatic as it should have been.
