Not bad over all

I have to admit that I have a weakness for caper movies and this one has all the requirements for holding the interest. Big stars, Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and a lavish budget with international locations. The plot follows the usual pattern, old hand trains the novice and then we get the, who is double crossing who twists.The robbery scenes are tense and exciting but I must admit to getting lost with some of the technical details. The stars can carry this kind of thing off but credibility is strained a bit because of the age difference. The truth is that Connery is started to look and sound his age. You can imagine him passing along his knowledge but to actually go on the assignments with all the athletic requirements required strains logic (even James Bond has to get old). Catherine Zeta-Jones has some great scenes, and she pulls them off very well. While this isn't the best crime / thriller and there are a few minor errors, the movie isn't bad.
