The prizes here are a Rembrandt, an ancient Chinese mask, and some billion-dollar computer codes. In pursuit of these treasures, two polished intellects show us that beating the odds is the thrill of life. Stealing beauty is their challenge.
Risk is their passion.
Mr. Connery can play a rogue at any age, and Ms. Zeta-Jones matches him in wits and physical dexterity. In fact, the old thief relies willingly and with gratitude on the skills of his younger partner. In good hands again at long last, the cerebral action thriller has never looked better.
