Quite possibly one of the worst movies ever made. And there really isn't much more I have to say about this film. But I will because I believe that if you're going to say you didn't like something that you then have to provide a few reasons for it. Only children can get away with explaining their dislike of something with a comment of "Because!".
So I will admit that I'm a bit biased against the movie because I'm not a Sean Connery fan. I think he's awful. I believe a part of it is that people are still over wowed by his work as James Bond, and they allow that fact to cover their eyes with rose-colored glasses that the man is still a sexy and virile man whom any woman of any age would still find attractive and desirable. Can we admit that the only reason it was even a believable premise that Catherine Zeta-Jones would fall for Sean Connery is because she's already in love with a man over twice her age? Had they cast a different actress in the role I think it would have been even less of a success than it was (not that you can truly consider the following of the film to be a success as it's almost a completely forgotten movie at this point in time).
But getting on to the film itself, the basic idea is that a man who is a professional thief is propositioned to take on a job of the highest difficulty. The two work together in training to see if the job is even a viable one. Through their time together and all their differences they manage to build a friendship and love that ultimately leads to a morally questionable situation at the end that doesn't even make complete sense.
I won't spoil the end because I know I'm kind of alone in my opinion of Sean Connery and his non-existent acting chops. The final vote for me is that this movie isn't even worth the brain cells you'd use to watch it. It isn't worth the 2 hours of your time it would take to watch it. In my opinion sitting on the toilet for 2 hours is a better way to spend your evening than having to sit through this film.
