Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Predrag The performances given by Mr. James Bond himself, Pierce Brosnan and by Rene Russo were perfect for this movie. The plot of the original movie has been given a total makeover. Whereas in the original 1968 version, Steve McQueen organized a $2 million bank robbery, in a very 60's blow against the system, Brosnan pulls off an art robbery single handed, walking out a museum with a Monet painting worth fifty times the amount. However, the essence of the original movie has been retained, and revolves around a tough-nosed female insurance investigator conducting an ambiguous love affair (Rene Russo) with millionaire playboy Thomas Crown (Pierce Brosnan), whilst at the same time trying to trap her seemingly uncatchable quarry.The script by Kurt Wimmer and Leslie Dixon is very good and there is really never a boring part in it. The script develops the characters well and the heist scene in the art museum was really well done. The photography is great so is the jazzy music from Composer Bill Conti. Oh you can't forget the small but funny role by Faye Dunaway who was in the original. Rent this or do what ever to see it. because it has great chemistry between Brosnan and Russo and what is really great is that they are about the same age. But what is the stand out i think is John McTiernan who shows that he can direct other films than just action.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

kosimo Elegant, stylish, complex and elaborated. Pierce Brosnan acts extremely well, his character seems created by him. The conversations, the plot, the storyline. I am in love with this movie and watched several times, listening to the music connections in every single scene. From the beginning to the end, a masterpiece. Unexpected until the end, and never loosing that beautiful touch of elegance. Sure there are some scenes that could be improved, but all the goodness of the movie hide some minor errors completely. Totally worth it. The sound track by the way is a masterpiece too a mixture between south American music with some jazz

HelenMary Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan play the Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen characters in the original. Whilst this version is obviously more modern, slicker, more colourful and less implausible, it lacks some of the gentle class of the original. Russo plays the insurance investigator as a hard-nosed woman, who will do anything. She seems more of a loose cannon and less together that her 60s counterpart. However, that perhaps makes her more believable, and her investigation has certainly fewer plot holes and more actual procedural parts. Pierce Brosnan is good in this role; but plays Crown rather smarmy and cheesy, rather than cool like Steve McQueen. I'll admit I don't much like him as an actor, particularly, but this has him as role I think he seems to suit. The film production is excellent, it's an attractive, slick looking film and it plays out less like "rich people montages" as the original does but there is an element of that. The characters have some depth both explicit and suggested and I like the excitement from the few twists so there is a little suspense. I've had trouble reviewing both these films so suggest viewers watch both and compare and contrast but both stand alone as entertaining examples of the heist genre.

Avid Climber The Thomas Crown Affair is an impossibly rich man stealing an extremely valuable painting with an elaborate scheme. It's your typical gentleman heist story, but with a sexy hard ass insurance investigator romance, and a sensible slightly overreacting cop. It's fun, exciting, surprising, and peppered with action.Good acting, especially on the part of Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo, and Denis Leary. Rich settings, interesting dialogs, captivating story, and nice stimulating score.There's a few small logical flaws in the scenario, but they are easily overlooked.It's good entertainment, watch it.
