Exciting and sexyThis is actually a story retold, and a better version of the original, in my opinion. A sexy acquisitions tycoon (Pierce Brosnan), a beautiful bounty hunter (Rene Russo) and a NY detective (Denis Leary) play their various roles in attempting to capture the deviceful and shrewd thief of an almost priceless masterpiece from the Metropolitan Museum. With the fabulous display of wealth and all that money can buy, the sex and honest romance, and the affective score, I recommend this flick to those looking for entertainment or a visual aide to manifesting exercises... Enjoy! April 1, 2008
Beautiful Russo, Beautifully Written
There are two things worth noticing about this movie. One is the writing of Leslie Dixon who makes the cat-and-cat love affair simmer in spite of its gross improbability. The other is the absolute dominance of Rene Russo, a creature so gorgeous that one has to be amazed that she can also speak. Of course, when she speaks, the energy (in this otherwise fairly silly film) just about melts the screen.
There are people who insist that the other lead lends some interest to the sexual tension. They're wrong.

Thomas Crown Affair
A movie that is better than the original. Thomas Crown is a very complex character played well by Pierce Brosnan! Rene Russo is perfectly cast as his counterpart Catherine Banning. Pierce and Rene literally sizzle on screen, and I don't think anyone could have done this better.

Great Movie
I love this movie. It is fun, sexy, interesting, and what an adventure. Brosnan and Russo play off each other and the tension is wonderful to watch. Dennis Leary plays a great role also and is a great counterpoint to Brosnan. This is a gotta have it and watch it multiple times kind of movie because you can't pick out everything that is going on without watching multiple times. January 18, 2008
A Brosnan/Russo classic adventure film
Superb movie. This was the first movie we ever purchased on DVD. We love it so much that we wore out the DVD (spindle cracked from usage). The copy I am "reviewing" here is a replacement copy. September 28, 2007
