Summary: most perfect movie EVER made
Review: This film has it all. Beautiful clothes (all by Michael Kors, for the fashion conscious), fantastic locations, romance, action, suspense and the sexsiest love sceen of all time. Stars the two most perfect specimens (and the only two who could pull of these very slick roles), Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan. The dialogue is fantastic and totally sexy. There is no other film like this and there is no other man like Thomas Crown. The soundtrack is equally as perfect with Nina Simone, Wasis Diop and the very sensual and sexy Sting performing "Windmills of Your Mind". Absolute perfection.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jaw Dropping!
Review: This movie made me appreciate that a woman can be darn hot after 40. Russo could be the role model of what every gal out there should aspire to be - she's smart, witty, and ambitious. She also has a better body than some chicks half her age. Way to go, Rene!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Slick Little Fantasy!!
Review: This movie creates its own little world, and successfully never leaves it. We get a window into the very posh world of the upper crust, without ever being belabored with the arctic brutality that is sometimes exhibited by that class (a term which sometimes seems ironic). But this movie isn't really about that ... that is merely the story's terrain.

The movie is full of things to like. Brosnan's Thomas Crown very successfully lives up to being compared at the beginning to Odysseus (a character Homer described as a man who was "never at a loss"). He is elegant and poised, regardless of the circumstances. His ability to always be in control and remain unruffled seems the source of his ennui, which pushes him into seeking danger just for the thrill.

Russo is very formidable, which is in of itself refreshing for a Hollywood film. She also proves right down to the skin that a woman does not have to be 21 to be beautiful.

The photography and use of color assist in luring you into the movie's comfortable little world: you simply cannot take your eyes off the color of the muted lighting in the restaurant, the details in a person's skin, or the sharp clarity of the fabric of a shirt-cuff. The photography makes you *feel* what Crown's world feels like.

And, typical of McTiernan films, there is no such thing as an "extra." Everyone we bump into is a very real, flesh and blood person who just doesn't happen to be the subject of the plot.

But best of all is Crown's incredible skill at the art of deception. Through forethought, methodical planning, and with a knowledge of misdirection, he's always tantalizingly just out of reach.

In using these skills to relieve boredom, he meets someone he considers more valuable than his little kingdom. Smartly, the film shows that Crown has to use his skills, and risk imprisonment, to get himself out of the trouble he created and ultimately to acquire what he really wants.

This can really be seen as a morality play about people who love wealth and games, and then discover that those things don't fill the void inside - then, each must risk something to acquire something more important: love.

Russo's character proposes the question, "Do you think there's happily-ever-after for people like us?" The film seems to answer "yes" - but it also suggests, like another film about a thief (Douglas Fairbanks' "Thief of Bagdad"), that happiness must be earned, not stolen.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: terrible
Review: Someone had the gall to market this drivel as mature and intelligent. That egregious misconception is based on an inability to distinguish between wealth and brains. Very few movies I've seen rival this one for emptiness and pointlessness, and the final scene is astonishingly stupid. "Are they kidding?" I said to myself when I saw it. I may even have said it aloud. Do not buy or rent this film. Every dollar that goes to its makers is a slap in the face to what's left of our culture.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply Smashing!
Review: I enjoyed the fast pacing of this video, beautiful scenery , seeing the interior of the museum and the red-hot romance between the 2 lead-characters. WOW!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You gotta see this one!!!
Review: This is one of the *few* movies me or my husband hadn't already guessed the ending...it was a complete surprise to us! Great film and fantastic soundtrack

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Save your time--see the original
Review: This re-make was entirely unnecessary. The original is available on VHS and DVD. Steve McQueen and the glorious Faye Dunaway put these two pretenders to shame. Miss Dunaway remains the sex symbol for the ages, even today. Just imagine how hot she was in 1968 for the original. Pass the re-make over and see the original today!
