Summary: Pierce Brosnan at his best
Review: I have seen this movie a dozen times and just finally bought it. I'm usually not a movie fanatic, but this one is superb. If you're fascinated with the excentricities of high-class life then this movie is a must.Pierce Brosnan is playing the role he was made for, the life of a wealthy and confident New York businessman. The film is based on the idea that one can never get enough. That when one has experienced everything he can in life he must find something new, or risk being bored. It is a reproduction of the earlier version, but I've not seen it. I've heard that they are fairly true to one another, however. My recommendation is, Buy It. If you love wealth and high-speed corporate America, then this movie won't fail to entertain you.

Summary: Full Length Version
Review: My husband and I saw the movie at the theatre when it originally came out. We later rented it and then bought the video. Both of those versions were missing scenes from the movie we saw at the theatre. Would like to have an uncut version.

Summary: A Movie Killed by the Soundtrack from Hell
Review: This might've been an interesting and snappy flick if it weren't for the horribly intrusive and inappropriate soundtrack. Romantic scenes turned into beer commercials and action sequences seemed more like car ads. Awful, awful music. Think music can't ruin a movie? Check out the sequence in "Mission To Mars" where the spacecraft suffers a dangerous air leak. If the quiet and loopy organ music creates even the slightest air of tension check yourself, it might be embarrassment instead.

Summary: The Movie is so Boring
Review: I kept waiting for something good to happen in this film but it never did. McTiernan used to be a good film director, but this movie is not one of his more serious work.
Rating:
Summary: A must-see action
Review: I enjoyed the film very much. Both Brosnan and Russo are attheir best. The picture and sound quality also make this film apleasure to watch. This re-make is definitely better than the original McQueen version.

Summary: Sleek Re-Do
Review: In The Thomas Crown Affair, Brosnan plays a self-made business tycoon who, just for kicks, robs a Monet painting worth $100 million from a Manhattan museum. Russo is an insurance investigator who's on his tail, so to speak, as the two fall for each other while at the same time trying to outwit one another. Add cold marble stairs to the list of unlikely places-think sinks and flour-covered kitchen tables-upon which characters in movies make wild passionate love and that grand staircase in Brosnan's mansion--you either gain a sense of steamy romance, watching Brosnan and Russo grapple on the stone steps, or grimace and think, "Oooh, that's gotta hurt." In The Thomas Crown Affair one can be seduced by the characters and so caught up in the intricacies of the plot that you willingly suspend disbelief. A gutsy performance by Russo, who is giving her all (and showing nearly as much), and a smoothly competent one by Brosnan. Action abounds, especially the nifty final heist. Thomas Crown is a remake of the then and still ultracool 1968 film that starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway (who smirks her way through a cameo here as Brosnan's shrink) and nabbed an Oscar for its tinkly "The Windmills of Your Mind" theme song. Sexy action film.

Summary: Sensational, more than 5 stars are needed
Review: Excellent acting, directing, and cinematography. Amazing twists and turns. Thomas Crown is the man us business yuppies always aspire to be, sharp, good looking, over confident, and rich. This DVD and the soundtrack are a must in your collection. Bill Conti's music is jazzie and classical. BUY BUY BUY!

Summary: Leave Masterpieces Alone!
Review: I have never been able to figure out Hollywood's thinking on remakes.This film is typical of what it does regarding making new filmsderived from films that have already been made. It takes a movie thathas already been made perfectly, that had a wonderful script andtremendous star chemistry. This describes the 1968 version of"The Thomas Crown Affair" with the late Steve McQueen andFaye Dunaway. It proceeds to rewrite the script into a slap-happy"feel good" version for the masses and picks lead actors tostar in it whose talents are better suited to less-demanding made-fortelevision movies. This Pierce Brosnan-Renee Russo vehicle is ExhibitA of such thinking and also the raison d'être why such perfect moviesfrom the past should be left alone. If one wants to remake a movie,believe me, there are plenty of bad movies made from excellent novelsthat could be tried instead. Someone please remake "Prince OfTides," for example. Fortunately, the McQueen-Dunaway version of"The Thomas Crown Affair" is also out on DVD and my adviceis that you buy or rent that 5 star version instead. The basic gist ofthe movie is that the consummate art thief and high flying risk taker,Thomas Crown, is pursued by a beautiful, successful woman bountyhunter for an insurance company that is eager to recover a paintingCrown stole. The star chemistry and sizzle is more than half the funof the movie and the heroine is as strong and scheming a character asthe hero is--at least in the original version ...

Summary: Liked it!
Review: I thought this movie was full of action but also had a logic plot: something almost unheard of in action movies, especially when you compare it to movies like MI-2. The actors were right for the part and the whole product was incredibly entertaining. It is a movie worth watching. I have watched it myself 3 times.

Summary: Shallow
Review: I was disappointed in this movie because as it unfolded, I never cared about the characters. The robbery plot was well thought out but the only character development had to do with how money was not enough for either of them. The only resolution to this dilemma was still superficial at best. I normally like Pierce and Renee.
