Trivia:
During Catherine Zeta-Jones' breakdown of the intensive security measures she and Sean Connery will encounter in the millenium heist, Rolf Saxon is continuously shown throughout the sequence as the director of the millenium compliance testing. He was introduced in a similar fashion as C.I.A. Analyst William Donloe when Tom Cruise conducts the breakdown of the C.I.A. break-in at Langley, VA in Mission: Impossible (1996). more
Goofs:
Plot holes: Gin uses chewed gum to neutralize the pressure switch while stealing the mask. This would leave her DNA behind. Some would argue that she was setting up Mac and would not care, but she was unaware that Mac knew who she was at that time. Her leaving DNA would mark her as careless and tip him off. more
Quotes:
Mac: Believe me, I was prepared for everything - except you. more

You won't remember much about the movie other than Catherine Zeta-Jones in the laser scene, 1 January 2005
7/10
Author: SnobbyDude from Connecticut

I remember how, after seeing this movie, everyone in my office was talking about Catherine Zeta-Jones and how she was, arguably, the most beautiful woman in the world. The women in the office went to go see it after hearing all the fuss, many going just to confirm that "she isn't all that." In a way, it's a bit of a shame because it's a decent heist movie with a good plot and pretty good acting. Sean Connery was, as always, excellent in his role and the cinematography. It all gets overshadowed by the Catherine Zeta-Jones laser scene that guys will be thinking about for days (Years?).

Does any of this make the movie any less entertaining to watch? Probably not.
