I wasn't too keen on seeing this film when I looked at the box, but was eventually persuaded to watch it by my mum and I actually really enjoyed this film and see it as one of my favourite films! I am normally into more action or war type films, but this is nothing like this and is very different to the norm for me but yet still a great film and worth a watch.
This film is actually a remake from the original in 1968 and is about Thomas Crown - a rich billionaire who owns a massive company. However he gets very bored being this rich and needs to find something to do to occupy himself. For example he crashes a very expensive catamaran and bets thousands of pounds on a golf swing for the fun of it. These are still not enough of a challenge for him - so he decides to steal a famous painting by Monet from this art gallery. 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 watch and involves many twists and turns and while watching the film you are forever trying to work out exactly what is going on and how exactly Crown pulls it all off. The origingal in 1968 was a great film, but I would have to say that this remake actually tops it and is a great film, which is rather a surprise as remakes are often just flops!
My favourite part of the film comes at the end in which there is a scene in the art gallery and Crown is being hunted down by the police, but he has hired loads of other people to dress as hed does and the music in this bit is awesome and fits the scene absolutely perfectly. I don't want to give too much away so I will just have to leave it for you to watch!
This film is not full of action, but is more of a heist film along with some romance. It can get a bit dull in parts and other bits are great. I would certainly advise watching it and seeing for yourself.
