plays a guy who can afford virtually anything, so
he attempts to get something he can't, a Monet. It
is a movie fitting of a polished, well-produced
soundtrack, which is exactly what this disc
delivers. Sting's previously unreleased version of
the famous theme song "Windmills of Your Mind"
lacks the suave psychedelic flair of Noel
Harrison's original version (he won an Oscar for
the song on the original Thomas Crown soundtrack),
but should please his fans. Nina Simone's classic
"Sinnerman" is a welcome contribution, and Wasis
Diop's "Caban La Ka Kratchie" is a steamy world
fusion tune. Bill Conti's score--varying from
pulsating piano compositions to smooth
jazz--rounds out the rest of this short
soundtrack. For most, the real attraction here is
the Sting cut. --Jason Verlinde

~ ~ What do you do to keep yourself amused when you’ve got more money stashed away than Rockefeller? Simple really; you turn your mind to crime, and devise interesting and ingenious new ways to rip off priceless works of art! That is, if your name happens to be Thomas Crown. (Played by Pierce Brosnan)
This 1999 movie, directed by John McTiernan, and starring Irish actor Pierce Brosnan (James Bond et al) and Rene Russo is a remake of an earlier heist movie of the same name from 1968 that starred the late, great Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. Given the large amount of extremely poor remakes that have hit the cinema screens recently this movie was surprisingly good, possibly because it stuck fairly closely to the story and script of the 1968 version, which was itself excellent.

~ ~ To be totally honest I don’t recall the original 1968 version that well, as I watched it in the cinema and it was before the days of VCR and DVD players. But I do remember thoroughly enjoying it (as I do most Steve McQueen movies) which is the reason I had avoided watching this remake for so long, studiously avoiding it on the shelves of the local video shop and in the Sky Movie listings. But a cold, wet December evening and a dearth of anything else decent to watch on the gogglebox led me to view it for the first time during the past week. I’m very glad I did. Isn’t it a real bonus when you begin to watch a movie with no real expectations of it being anything special and then it turns out to be an absolute gem?

~ ~ The plot is relatively simple, although the convolutions and twists in the storyline are not, keeping you guessing to the ultimate outcome right up to nearly the end of the movie. (A sure sign of a good crime caper movie) Thomas Crown (Brosnan) is a millionaire financier who has it all. The houses, apartments, servants, private jets, fancy cars and even fancier women, and more money than the Bank of England. He’s an established patron of the arts, with an extensive private collection of masterpieces. But he’s finding life boring, and needs a challenge to get the old competitive juices flowing once again. Hence his audacious plan to rip off a famous Monet from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which he manages with ease, totally stumping the local police in the process.
Enter stage left the other hero of the piece, Catherine Banning (Rene Russo), who is a highly successful and motivated insurance claim investigator who specialises in recovering stolen works of art. (For a high percentage of the value!) She more or less takes over the running of the investigation into the robbery from the head honchos of the cops, the bad tempered Detective Michael McCann (Denis Leary) and his partner Detective Paretti (Frankie Faison).

~ ~ What neither Catherine Banning or Crown have allowed for is the immediate sexual attraction that develops between the hare and the hound. It’s what the director of the movie counts on however, as it’s the growing sexual and romantic attachment between Crown and Banning that makes the film memorable. The “will they, won’t they” scenario throughout the whole movie adds a sexual tension to almost every scene the two actors play as they find themselves more and more attracted to each other while at the same time realising that the realities of the situation make a lasting relationship nigh on impossible.
Banning is torn between her strong attraction to Crown and her equally strong devotion to her job, (and her large fee) and Crown quickly realises he has at last met his match in life, his female equivalent if you will, and is very loathe to let her go. So Crown devises yet another master plan which will hopefully resolve the impasse, allowing Banning to do her job while at the same time allowing Crown to retain his liberty and not end up in the pokey for the rest of his natural!
That’s it folks, as any more detail about the plot and I’d be running the danger of spoiling the movie for you if you haven’t already seen it.

~ ~ Anyone who thinks that actor Piece Brosnan lacks talent and is only capable of playing all-action hero roles (such as James Bond 007) should think again and watch this movie. Brosnan is outstanding as the ultra-rich super crook Crown. Granted the role fits perfectly his established screen (and real-life) persona as the ultimate Mr. Cool, with his mega-millions, Armani suits and Gucci shoes, and an unbeatable line in patter. But this film plays out at all sorts of different levels, as he reveals his unashamed joy and longing when he at last finds his true “soul mate” in life, and his inherent insecurity as he tries to work out with his therapist just how to deal with his conflicting emotions.
In the scene with his therapist the director employs a lovely touch, as he uses actress Faye Dunaway, who played the “Catherine Banning” role opposite Steve McQueen in the original 1968 version of the movie.
I’ve long been a fan of actress Rene Russo, enjoying the banter she employs with her leading men in movies such as “Lethal Weapon 3” (Mel Gibson), “Outbreak” (Dustin Hoffman), “In The Line of Fire” (Clint Eastwood), and one of my own particular favourite Russo movies, “Tin Cup”, where she plays (and lays) dissolute golf professional Kevin Costner. Russo isn’t beautiful in the classic sense of the word, but she has that something special that makes her attractive to men, and plays it for all it’s worth. Combine this with the fact that she’s an outstanding actress, and you have a recipe almost sure to produce success.

~ ~ I watched “The Thomas Crown Affair” on Sky Movies, (where it’s currently doing the rounds) so no DVD extras to talk about in this review. But it’s now a movie that I fully intend to add to my fast-growing collection of DVD’s very soon. In fact, I’ll probably buy the original 1968 version as well, to complete the pair so to speak! Both versions are currently available at Amazon for only £6.97 each.
Highly recommended by the mad cabbie. Catch it if you can.

Review of The Thomas Crown Affair (DVD) by Andrew19111

Advantages: Slick, polished thriller
Disadvantages: None

...John Reynolds the thomas crown affair (dvd) i can't say that i'm a big fan of remakes, especially when the original film doesn't really demand one. There are a few exceptions around - off the top of my head (and looking at my video collection behind me), I can name examples of both good and bad - The Birdcage pretty much improves upon the original (called 'La Cage aux Folles and not really known outside of France) and the mediocre Gone in 60 Seconds ...
...uneccessary. The Thomas Crown Affair remake is, I'm happy to say, an improvement over the original film (also of the same name). Orginally starring in the main roles were Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway (the millionaire Thomas Crown and insurance specialist Catherine Banning respectively); in the remake we have Pierce Brosnan and the very lovely Rene Russo being directed by the very competent director of Die Hard, John McTiernen.

How To Steal A Monet
Review of The Thomas Crown Affair (DVD) by Wolfie1974

Advantages: Good unpredictable plot
Disadvantages: None that come to mind

...want to me to spoil the story line for you, then read the first six paragraphs only. Thomas Crown (Pierce Brosnan) plays the part of a self-made billionaire who seems to be in search for more challenge in his life and we seem him making silly bets on a game of golf with impossible odds, resulting in him losing $100,000. We also seem him wreck an expensive yacht, yet he seems totally un-phased by it! The film is largely centred around New York’s ...
...the same spot admiring one of the less favoured paintings. This turns about to be a ploy to detract from the fact that he is scheming up a way to steal $100 million Monet which is also in the same gallery and this is all unbeknown to the viewer at this stage. We see cameo appearances from Thomas’s psychologist (Faye Dunaway) throughout the film, which appears to be somewhat of pointless role apart from the fact that Thomas has an unhealthy ...

Review of The Thomas Crown Affair (DVD) by Tony_edwards1

Advantages: Good film
Disadvantages: none really

Sometimes you have to question the reason why some film's are re-made, most can never live up to the original but some make a good attempt and take advantage of the changes in society and cinema to make them worthwhile. The Thomas Crown Affair is one of those re-makes that actually is quite decent. The reason it works is mainly because the two leads are both in the same age range and have some very heated sexual chemistry between them. That's what ...

Enter Insurance investigator Catherine Banning (Rene Russo) who is hired to retrieve the painting and is hot on Crown's tail which leads to a very hot game of cat and mouse where the two realize they are equal in loving the thrill of the chase. The film twists and turns at every stage wiht some great scenes and a real sense of class throughout the whole thing. Did I mention that it's ... Read review

Crown, who is played very well by Pierce Brosnan, is chased in some sort of game of 'cat and mouse' by a woman hired by the insurance company to solve the crime. Rene Russo plays Banning the detective and gives Crown exactly what he wants - excitement and a challenge! The film is great to ... Read review

DVD Description

Based on the 1968 film of the same name, THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR offers a peak into the nefarious lives of the rich and famous. Thomas Crown (Pierce Brosnan) is a man with looks, wit, and millions of dollars, yet the only way he can feel truly alive is during the thrill of the heist. When a valuable Monet painting comes to town, Crown decides stealing it would be the ultimate rush. As the New York high society demands justice, little do they--or the police--suspect that one of their very own has committed the crime. Expert Catherine Danning (Rene Russo) is brought in investigate the stolen Monet painting. But as she come closer to proving Crown guilty, she is drawn into his world, and falls in deeply in love with him.
For THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR, director John McTiernan takes action elements of his previous films (both the explosive urban setting of DIE HARD and the racy pursuit feel of PREDATOR) and spins them into a sophisticated thriller about the downfalls of wealth and high society.
