Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At 11:00 PM on the night of the Millenium Heist, Gin says they will now gain one tenth of a second every minute until midnight to gain the extra ten seconds the heist requires. However, 60 minutes' worth of gains will only yield them six extra seconds.

Quotes:

Mac: You are the most beautiful crook I've ever seen.
Gin: Why, thank you kind sir.

All I'm seeing is Catherine and the laser beams

That was the coolest part of the movie. I mean, I'm not a guy or anything, but I have to admit she does look sexy. I really enjoyed "Entrapment". It had high action and intensity. I saw the film over HBO, I showed my mom and she was in love as well. Although this is not my favorite Connery film, it's still worth a look. The love story wasn't really needed. But you'll deal. Over all, the film is good. It was well directed with some remarkable actors. And remember LASER BEAMS! If you don't like the film, you will definatly like LASER BEAMS! Hehe. I would recommend this to fans of Connery or Jones.
