I enjoyed "Entrapment" and had a small hope that this might be similar. In some ways it was, in others it was not. The story is supposed to be about a thief who is nearing retirement and takes on one final job, and the FBI agent chasing him. That specific plot has a long, drawn-out buildup. For the most part, I enjoyed the slow developement; the opening scene was great. Except I did not like Woody Harrelson's character (Stan Lloyd) at all. Too immature, in so many different ways.
After investing so much screen time to get to the climax of the story, I felt really let down; the heist itself was really rather basic. The small amount of intrigue was tasteful (and helpful, even critical), but by the time we get to the "Aha, gotcha" moments, you feel as if the best part of the movie happened a long time ago.
