Russo on the dance floor, rumba-ing seductively with her No. 1 suspect, is a stitch.
Remade with lots of pizzazz but little wit or soul.
Production has been lavished with extravagant sets and locations that welcome the audience into a fantasy world of untold luxury.
Russo's decade of sidekick-cupcake roles has never before given her the opportunity to create the kind of believable, engaging genre character she comes up with here.
The Thomas Crown Affair plays as a very grown-up, cynical and slick quasi-thriller, with a couple of hot sex scenes that look as if they're the ones missing from Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.
Sleek and slick in equal measure, The Thomas Crown Affair confirms that it's well worth hearing a good story twice.
Hhandsome Pierce Brosnan and elegant Rene Russo look fabulous here, but they fail to ignite an exciting on-screen chemistry.
A fine remake for older teens and adults.

John McTiernan's efficient, if inscrutably slight, remake of The Thomas Crown Affair arrives on Blu-Ray confident in its own sleek presentation and the chemistry of its central, seductive diptych.
...professional Hollywood movie-making, which means it's at once very impressive and utterly dismissable.
For those who still have a shred of sophistication left, and an appreciation for mind games rather than mere shock-treatment, here's a summer movie for you.
The best thing about "The Thomas Crown Affair" is that it doesn't give a hang if the 14-year-olds show up.
This striking, style remake succeeds on its own merits, very average. Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo are perfectly suited to these characters; dueling titans who must appear icily superficial and above common worldly concerns. The heist seems in both are superbly conceived and well filmed, with just the right amount of

I thought this was a pretty decent light hearted, sexy, crime thriller. More of a heist film to be honest. it's fun seeing how they did it, if the cops can figure it out and if he can get away with it. Strong cast and a well put together film overall.
