Aspires to be nothing more than a bit of glamorous nonsense, but although it has done all right by the glamour, it has perhaps done too well by the nonsense.

Gets by well enough on style and star chemistry and the basic allure of watching a tightly-planned caper unfold.

Connery e Zeta-Jones, com suas presenças fortes, prendem nossa atenção. O problema só começa quando, em função do fraquíssimo terceiro ato, passamos a nos atentar para as fragilidades do roteiro.

A certain sunny sloppiness almost redeems Jon Amiel's throwback caper flick

It plays more like a big-budget episode of Remington Steele or Hart to Hart.

The stars have zero chemistry and the movie is none too thrilling.

It's a superficial but entertaining caper that's a good, old-fashioned yarn.
