Jewison continues to prove himself among the most facile and appropriative of the two-dimensional directors ...

The Norman Jewison film tells a crackerjack story, well-tooled, professionally crafted and fashioned with obvious meticulous care.
March 26, 2009 | Full Review… -
It's no doubt dated now, and the multiscreen graphics won't make any sense on a pan-and-scan video version, but this heist movie starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway was considered pretty hot stuff back in 1968.

A sad product of its times.
June 24, 2006 | Full Review… -
There are a lot of good things.
May 9, 2005 | Full Review… -
Possibly the most under-plotted, underwritten, over-photographed film of the year.

Sep 05, 2010This movie wasn't bad, it was just way too boring, I didn't even watch it all. Some day I'll give it another chance maybe.Aj V Super Reviewer

Jul 04, 2010A great and innovative film by the 60's, with Steve Mcqueen and Faye Dunaway, directed by Norman Jewison.Made with split screen technique in the actions scenes, excellent soundtrack , and the usual charm of the characters, this movie is a cult.The chess game scene is sexy in extreme (without naked people or explicit ).It was nominated for two Academy Awards and won the Award for Best Song with "Windmills of Your Mind".Andre T Super Reviewer

Feb 26, 2009Nevermind the use and abuse of the so called avant-garde techniques like multiple split screen or neon lights fade out, It simply is a sensous and stylish cross between romantic melodrama and caper movie, in which the cool couple McQueen and Dunaway squeeze out their immense chemistry on the screen. The chess play/seduction scene is the best moment of the entire film.Pierluigi P Super Reviewer

Sep 16, 2008Jewison is accommodated with the frustrating social/racial clashes during the 60's-70's era rather heist films.Thomas Crown is a gentleman thief.The kind of type you know he's a deceiver and cares for specific things,something ms Anderson aka Dunaway is aware.Jewison orchestrates both of them as pawns of a chess and if the check mate isn't successful,his rich,sly crook is just as perfect as his introductory scene.Dimitris S Super Reviewer
