Okay . . . but not very well directed. This should be a very exciting film, but it isn't.

Goes through the motions of the book but lacks excitement or real tension. Connery & Sutherland make the most of their poorly defined characters.

Some scenes, such as the robbery itself, are thrilling in their own way. However, most of Chrichton's direction is as bland and poorly fine-tuned as the script. Sutherland and Connery give a certain charm to their drab roles. Most of the comedy feels terribly forced.

If "Entrapment" had a legitimate parent, it's this movie.

Not bad.

An old-fashioned work of roaring adventure, filled with humor, excitement, and neat revelations. It features an excellent ensemble cast, a solid script, and many clever events. The problem is that it never rises beyond "good", nor does the movie build to any kind of climax. There's no rising action, just a steady diet of quality scenes, capped off by a disappointingly mediocre ending. Give credit to Michael Crichton for directing a good film, though, even if it could have been even better...
