Never trust a naked woman
Cos lets face it, we all get what we want when we're naked! ;)

I don't really understand why there's some questionable reviews about this DVD, but everyone has their own opinion I guess. I found it to be quite a fast paced movie, although I'm not keen on Sean Connery (Mac). I don't like the spelling of the name :) and the only reason they had to bring in Catherine Zeta Jones (Gin) is because he's getting on a bit now! I'm always going to be a bit iffy about Catherine, as her accent is so WEIRD now, and she reverts back to her Welsh accent, particularly when she wants people to believe she's still the same little Welsh girl that starred in Darling Buds Of May. I don't think so! She keeps saying "combuder" instead of "computer". Watching her struggle with the name Kuala Lumpur in half-Welsh-half-American is genuinely funny.

Both actors do a great job of portraying their characters. Sean Connery does a brilliant eye roll a lot of the time, and is probably the only actor who can get away with saying "If I'm late, I'm dead".

The film is shot in Kuala Lumpur, what looks like Scotland, and London, I think. The Scotland scenery looks lovely, very peaceful and remote. The building used for exterior shots of Mac's safe house (Castle Duart on the Isle of Mull) is the ancestral home of the Chief of the Clan MacLean.

I love the whole stealing of precious items, it's so weird how much thought & work actually goes into it during the film. And you're always holding your breath, waiting for them to hit a laser, or for a security guard to spot them.

The finale to this, I will NEVER understand, no matter how many times I watch it! It's very subtle, highly original, and you're left guessing until the very last frame, and trying to search the screen! In this, there are double-crosses, triple-crosses and quadruple-crosses, enough to leave you spinning. Is he double-crossing her? Is she double-crossing him? Is Ving Rhames in this for anything other than hard cash, and lots of it? Considering he doesn't have much of a role, and he's not really who you think he is!

There's been a lot of comparisons to a movie called The Thomas Crown Affair. Sorry, but I haven't seen this, so I'm not likely to compare.

There's a lot of sexual chemistry between Catherine & Sean, although you'll be glad to hear, they never really get it on, and it's almost a paternal attraction on Sean's side.

Forget the negative reviews for this movie. You're not supposed to take this film at all seriously, you're supposed to be watching the pretty lady get herself into all kinds of positions (Michael Douglas must love that!) with some laser beams.

One of the best !!!
I love this one. I watched it when I was eight. I still love it no matter what. One of the best flicks ever !

Connery saves the day
The only reason to watch this movie (unless you are a guy) is Sean Connery. His acting ability and some cool gadgets are about the only things that keep your attention through the movie. Catherine Zeta-Jones can't act. I've never seen her in another movie so I don't know if she is always this bad, but watching her give her dialogue is like watching paint dry. She's stunning to look at even when she comes up from a swim with full makeup on, but she has a hard time giving any lines with punch. The movie dragged in some parts, but was entertaining overall. The Connery/Zeta-Jones love interest wasn't believable or very well developed. The billion dollar oversight at the end wasn't believable either. Y2K or not a billion dollars is a billion dollars. I'd recommend a rental on this one.
