Jacob B @RT89309114 Feb 3 Wait, there were two heist films in 1999 about a female agent pursuing, and inadvertently falling for, 007? Though when comparing them, Entrapment is more focused on the heists whilst The Thomas Crown Affair places heavier emphasis on the romance. Yes, this is a remake but I doubt the timing was coincidental. Anyway, this is a good film with a riveting cat-&-mouse dynamic between a suave Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo, stylish directing from John McTiernan and a smart script with fun dialogue exchanges. I did like the scenes with Thomas' psychiatrist quite a bit, even without knowing the context behind Faye Dunaway's casting until after the fact. Overall, a fun take on the genre with Brosnan at the top of his game and possibly encouraging another studio to greenlight their own heist remake: Ocean's 11. Probably unfair to make comparisons due to their differing approaches to the genre, but I wouldn’t rule out the idea that this film proved that these flicks were still financially viable.

The outdoor scene in the Caribbean is beautiful, the art is amazing, but the script is poorly written.

The style, the score, the tension and the cat and mouse play is just outstanding. Russo is a little wooden (still good), and Leary is well cast, but Brosnan absolutely chews up every scene he is in.

I was very impressed by the sailing and flying sequences. It was a high intensity film with great chemistry between the stars. I thought Russo was fine. A small matter for me was Faye Dunaway, who I thought was the actress that overacted. It was her hair that bothered me, not Russo’s supposed wig. Otherwise, very clever plot, and, thankfully, a happy ending. Great update of the first Thomas Crown affair! See more Read all reviews
