The Thomas Crown Affair
Directed by John McTiernan
1999
★ 2.5 editorial score
John McTiernan's remake is better than the original and knows how adult it is: a billionaire steals a Monet for entertainment, and the insurance investigator enjoys the chase as much as he does.
“Thomas Crown, a billionaire Manhattan financier, has stolen a painting — a priceless Monet — from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Why, exactly, did he steal it? That's the merry enigma the movie revolves around...Brash, preposterous, synthetic, and very sexy, The Thomas Crown Affair is a romp of romantic larceny built out of spare parts we've seen in countless other films.”
