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?

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

In its sneaky and offhanded way, The Thomas Crown Affair is a tribute to the art of stealing beauty.

It's perplexing enough when Hollywood insists on remaking terrific movies. Why remake terrible ones? Perhaps to show that it can be done even worse.

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.

Stylish, good-looking and frequently arresting, at least until its plot turns too far-fetched to buy.

Brosnan's Crown is as charming as his lifestyle; Russo's Banning is smart and sexy!

Sleek and slick in equal measure, The Thomas Crown Affair confirms that it’s well worth hearing a good story twice.

Russo is a hot-stuff revelation here. It's enough to make Nicole Kidman put her clothes back on.
