TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

nadinesalakovv Synopsis: A Bored billionaire decides to entertain himself by stealing a Monet from a museum, an investigator from the museum's insurance company takes an interest in him and a complicated back-and-forth game with romantic undertones begins between them.Review: I just finished streaming this film on Netflix for the first time, and the title of my review says it all. This remake is boring, it has poor-pacing, and the overall story is just drab and stale. This romantic heist drama or whatever it's supposed to be is an hour and forty minutes too long. I did not enjoy this movie, the first 25 minutes or so is the only halfway decent part, the rest of the film is just plain awful. This cine has a rubbish plot, i have not seen the original, and after seeing this remake i don't want to see the original, hopefully the upcoming second remake will be better than this 90s version, but i doubt it.

KineticSeoul This is a film where I enjoyed the first half, but just didn't really get into it with the second half. I guess this is a film that most guys and girls can enjoy to a degree. Because there is something for both genders. There is that cool suave guy Thomas Crown played Pierce Brosnan doing what he does best, except he isn't a MI6 agent this time around. It's mostly what James Bond might do if he ever retired. So he is this rich and clever guy that lives on the edge, while attracting just about any women. And steals expensive art works during his spare time for the rush of it. And on his tail is this smart and articulate female detective who Crown has a bit of chemistry with. So the first half is this cat and mouse game with a bit of flare. Which I was really into, because the chemistry just seemed to work for the most part. Plus it was intriguing to watch the interactions between the two characters. But once the actual romance starts up with the rich guy just showing the woman a good time, it quickly becomes boring and started to drag in my opinion. Most women dream about turning a bad boy into a man that is just for her, especially if he is a handsome rich guy. And that is what this movie is, although I didn't really see why Crown would fall for the lead women in this movie. But I everyone has their preferences. So you want to watch a film about a topnotch classy Alpha male than this might be a film you might enjoy, for the first half anyways.6.5/10

movie reviews Gross: $124 million Cost: $48 million (remember when million dollar movies were exceptional)--inflation.Slickly produced expensive "Roger Moore" style heist film. It was not meant to be taken too seriously--some reviewers complain about holes in the plot--this movie is meant to be a lighthearted romantic comedy.Features an upbeat prettified New York of the rich and famous while also appealing to our antisocial natures.The only part that I could have done without were the sex scenes...both Pierce Bronson at 47 and Russo at 45 were a little too long in the tooth for torpid insatiable sex on marble stairs etc....especially Pierce looked a little saggy with out a shirt on. Ditto the true love angle at this age is unbelievable but is part of the formula. Bronson looked like he needed a few hits of amphetamines and viagra a couple times to keep up his manic behavior...The only part I didn't care for was the ending at the museum with a dozen men with bowler hats somehow confusing a large contingent of the NYPD. Too dumb.Still flawlessly filmed well acted but expensive formula star stuff..a 7 ...I am a tough but consistent grader.... 6 is boiler plate (but decent)...say a Jacqueline Suzanne novel...7 a cut above....I like sleepers and surprises. Also try to grade in context....8 is very very good...10 still looking...Russo is definitely the better half of the duo quite funny. But Bronson was OK.Recommend

SnoopyStyle Super rich Thomas Crown (Pierce Brosnan) can't resist a great caper. He steals a $100M Monet painting in an elaborate scheme from the museum. Police detective Michael McCann (Denis Leary) heads the investigation. Catherine Banning (Rene Russo) is the super smart investigator for the insurer who's only goal is to retrieve the painting. Only she falls for Thomas along the way.The caper is great. I love the robbery scheme. I also love the solving of the robbery scheme. From there, the movie goes into game playing mode between Brosnan and Russo. Some of it is great like the burning of the wooden crate. Others are more contrived and stylized. Most of it is fun. It's all very light and jazzy without the tension.
