Today's Rewind Wednesday takes me back to my Senior year in high school. It was springtime and I was ready to graduate and move to the ATL. Now one of the movies that was making its debut was that of the 1999 Crime/Romance/Thriller Entrapment starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Connery has pretty much made is mark in cinema and Zeta-Jones was just getting her feet wet.
In this film we have Virginia"Gin" Baker (Zeta-Jones) who is an investigator for a major insurance agency. "Mac" MacDougal (Connery) is a professional international art thief who is always ready for a challenge. A priceless Rembrandt painting is stolen from an office one night. Gin gets herself sent to investigate Mac as the chief suspect. She tries to entrap him with a proposition, claiming that she is an art thief. But little to her surprise she may be the one who is being trapped.
"Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. Then again, practice makes perfect"
This was primarily based in the beautiful country of Malaysia and England. Much of the architecture showcased the beautiful skylines and countryside.
This is one of those good and simple films. All the elements of action, intensity, and character development were presented in great fashion. For all those Connery and Zeta-Jones fans it is well worth it!
