As in Entrapment , the party most interested in retrieving the picture is the insurance company. She figures out pretty quickly that Thomas was the culprit, and she goes about getting her information. She actually gets him to take her out on a date, which she uses as an attempt to get the painting back. She's not quite successful, but that doesn't stop these crazy kids from staying together. Thomas and Cathy spend most of the film in an intricate dance.
Romance develops, and they both seem to be straying from their agendas.
A lot of this play between them isn't quite credible, and their motivations are a constant mystery. Thank God for Denis Leary, who actually notices how ridiculous the situation often is. Playing NYPD Detective Michael McCann, he is the only source of reason. As in The Ref , he is forced to be witness to a very strange couple, and reacts in the same way as the audience. This is a pretty good film, and the little oddities can be overlooked when the leads look this good together.
