Connery Still Has It!
Sean Connery is Robert MacDougal, art thief extraordinaire. Catherine Zeta-Jones is Virginia Baker, insurance investigator out to get her man. It is always good to see Sean Connery but he and Zeta-Jones have very little to no chemistry as a team if that was what they were intended to be in a very tired plot line. The film starts off well but their chemistry or relationship is rather strange if one even cares about that aspect. Caper films such as this have been done much better. The preparation scenes for the caper are a bore and look pretty unprofessional for characters who are supposed to be in this line of work. What this film needed was a good director and a good editor as well. The film has a few good scenes thanks to Connery, but the film never reaches its potential. Norman Garwood's Production Designs help a bit while Christopher Young's score is perfunctory. In truth this is could have been a very tired looking production, but Connery's saves it with his great screen presence...
