See, the thing about the Thomas Crown Affair is that it doesn't have an explosion every five minutes. Neither does it include some seventeen-year-old girl whose sole purpose is to "entertain" the males in the audience. It is a film that requires you to pay attention, to think a little, and to actually enjoy the movie instead of picking holes in every stupid thing that comes along.
I recently sat through the Beach - fine movie, but in the row behind me were a couple of adolescent losers who insisted on making whiny, derisive, pointless remarks for the duration of the film. I bet they didn't like TCA either.
Pierce Brosnan shows that he can handle more than just Bond, and is more convincing in his role than Steve McQueen was. Sacrilege, I know, but McQueen never impressed as the bored billionaire.
Rene Russo is a talented actress, and I was very grateful to see two actors of similar age involved in a relationship. This was one of the strongest areas of the movie - the love affair / cat-and-mouse hunt between Crown and Banning. This is the best reason to see the movie.
The heists at the beginning and end of the film are also excellent (especially the latter) but if you are looking for non-stop action then go see something else instead.
