Thrill-seeking billionaire Thomas Crown (Brosnan) loves nothing more than courting disaster - and winning! So when his world becomes too stiflingly 'safe' he pulls off his boldest stunt ever: stealing a priceless painting - in broad daylight - from one of Manhattan's most heavily-guarded museums. But his post-heist excitement soon pales beside an even greater challenge; Catherine Banning (Russo).
A beautiful insurance investigator hired to retrieve the artwork, Catherine's every bit as intelligent, cunning and Hungary for adventure as he is. And just when Thomas realizes he's finally met his match, she skillfully leads him into a daring games of cat and mouse that's more intoxicating - and dangerous - than anything either of them has ever experienced before!

Could've been so much better!
In its own right, the Thomas Crown Affair is an unremarkable film. Adapted from the 1968 original, there are some knowing nods to elements of the Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway classic that a fans can appreciate. Unfortunately, Rene Russo's performance is dire! At times, she attempts to emulate the sublime and haunting mystique of Dunaway's character, but falls so far short it's embarrassing. For me, this is the fundamental failing of this film. Other failings are the inelegant bumbling through the plot, which is largely the same as the original, but carelessly delivered. The only saving grace is Brosnan's performance, who is very well suited to the role. I'd recommend that true fans of the original watch this out of pure filmographic interest, but nothing more.
