"YIn order for there to be complete trust between thieves, there can be nothing personal." - Mac

Why watch this? Master thief meets undercover agent... Zeta-Jones is stunning.

Plot Summary: A skilled insurance investigator suspects a legendary art thief of a major art heist. To catch him in the act, she goes undercover, proposing a new, seemingly impossible theft to gain his trust. As they plan the elaborate heist, both struggle with growing distrust and attraction, unsure of who is truly playing whom.

Dad's Preview: There was a point in Sir Sean Connery's stellar career where playing the leading man opposite significantly younger women stopped working. Hey, it happened John Wayne and Harrison Ford, too. This was that film, and I distinctly remember when Connery leans in to kiss Zeta-Jones and his large, hair-filled, grandpa-ear encompassed the entire frame. That said (and it's my opinion), Zeta-Jones as the beautiful, spunk-filled agent more than captivates this heist thriller.
