Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful/drugs/stabbing/shooting/animal cruelty.

Not everyone is as they seem: these are two criminals pull some jobs together Robert "Mac" MacDougal [Sean Connery] and Virginia "Gin" Baker [Catherine Zeta-Jones;] this is one of those occasions where: it would be a good idea if I do say too much about the storyline. But generally speaking the storyline is straightforward and by the end of it, this is just based on my opinion and reaction of meh; this film is 114 minutes long and let's just say this film doesn't have much of a get up and go to it until before or roughly around the final quarter.

The character developments are a reliable model for this type of film, the lead partnership of Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones is best described as mixed, you know sometimes it clicks for a moment or a short time and then you can completely understand this for an example;  The Stinkers Bad Movie Awards 1999; Nominee; Worst On-Screen Couple; Sean Connery Catherine Zeta-Jones. But I must quickly point out the following Winners; European Film Awards 1999; EFA People's Choice Award; Best European Actor; Sean Connery [at the same event/awards ceremony] Best European Actress; Catherine Zeta-Jones. So make of that what you will. But the rest of the cast are reliably good Ving Rhames as Thibadeaux in fact he got Nominated for an award; Blockbuster Entertainment Award; Favorite Supporting Actor - Action; Ving Rhames.

There is this action/practice sequence where this  Virginia "Gin" Baker is going through this rigged up location of what she will have to do in a real sequence later on in the film, basic description; they have rigged up this location where she will have to carefully go under these or over these this red cotton with little bells on [in reality these are meant to be the security perimeter around this artefact that if you touch them she will raise the alarm but Robert "Mac" MacDougal will guide her through, because he will have this little computer that will show them up.] But back to this practice sequence; she goes through this practice sequence elegantly like a ballerina and on top of that she is doing this blindfolded, because she made reference to Robert "Mac" MacDougal that she could do this blindfolded, so obviously he wanted to test this out and there is some good looking scenery.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed: I mean after everything is said and done this is a fair outcome, you know it isn't the worst film I have ever seen, but I have seen better, just for the record this film has 4 Winner awards to its name and 6 Nominees, I never get this but this negative award is also credited to this film as well; Nominee Razzie Awards 2000; Worst Actress; Worst Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones; For The Haunting.
