Few 68-year-old actors would turn down a chance to enjoy old-fashioned heist high jinks with the undeniably beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones, and here Sean Connery obviously revels in doing just that. The set-up is familiar for anyone who saw the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair - female insurance investigator goes after gentleman thief. And although it suffers in comparison, being a less stylish and intelligent film, this romantic thriller still manages to combine plenty of tension with wry humour, and the robbery scenes are mechanical yet effective.

Two thieves, who travel in elegant circles, try to outsmart each other and, in the process, end up falling in love.
