The Thomas Crown Affair
Bored billionaire executive Thomas Crown decides to plan a robbery and assigns a professional agent with the right information to the job. However, Crown is soon betrayed yet cannot blow his cover as he’s fallen in love.
What critics thought
A sleek, moderately well-received remake that critics largely found entertaining without being essential. The performances — particularly Rene Russo's — drew consistent praise, but several reviewers noted the film recycles familiar heist-movie mechanics rather than doing anything genuinely new with them.
“We didn't need it, but we got it anyway--and it's pretty terrific.”
