Entrapment: 25th Anniversary- The Film Sean Connery Made Instead Of The Matrix

Quick Take: Entrapment isn’t a groundbreaking piece of cinema, but it is a fairly entertaining film from a very strong year full of movies. Sean Connery plays an experienced thief who is either being taken as a mark by Catherine Zeta-Jones, or she is actually a real thief herself, and her job is the cover. A game of cat and mouse is afoot, and for good measure, there’s a little bit of sexual tension between the generationally different leads, but it isn’t driving the story. In 1999, Connery was still sexy, and Hollywood didn’t care how old his co-star was. This is also the film Connery chose over The Matrix, so it is bittersweet for him. The audio description is fine, as I was laser focused mostly on the laser sequence. I thought it was well done, and the lingering odd tension between the leads was captured. i own this also on physical media. i don’t know if anyone will remember this in another 10 years, but it is worth revisiting.
