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.

...professional Hollywood movie-making, which means it's at once very impressive and utterly dismissable.

Crown is a guilt-free pleasure, a way to waste a couple of hours happily at the theater without encountering computer-generated monsters or teenagers losing their virginity.

McTiernan's camerawork in particular, though, gives the film the style to pull off what could have been just another remake!

Glossy, uninvolving, full of irrelevant but handsome scenes in sailboats and gliders, requiring such suspension of disbelief that I expected Tinker Bell to fly past.

A flighty affair, but it's colorfully acted and tautly directed.

Much better than this year's Entrapment, and a great time killer for the above 20 demographic.

Those expecting a caper flick will be bored to tears by the film's sluggish pace, and will be chilled by the icy chemistry between the stars.
