Thomas Crown (Pierce Brosnan) is a self-made billionaire who can buy anything he wants and is irresistible to women. But there are some things that money can't buy. Thomas Crown has run out of challenges. When an alarm sounds at a a world class museum and someone walks out with a priceless Monet, Crown is the last person the New York police suspect. Who would steal something he could easily afford to buy and why would he? But one person suspects him: Catherine Banning (Renne Ruso), the brilliant female investigator hired to retrieve the painting no matter what it takes. Catherine loves the chase as much as he does and she's on to his game. Crown has found his challenge. THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR is based on the 1968 movie with the same title staring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunnaway. [More]

...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.

The Thomas Crown Affair is a refreshingly straightforward entertainment film, made with great style.
