: The Thomas Crown Affair
Author: Alan Trustman (story) and Leslie Dixon
Director: John McTiernan
Fun romp with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo as an wealthy art thief and an insurance investigator tracking him down. Starts out a little slow — Russo and Brosnan have some sort of instant link I found more mysterious than realistic, but later, once we really believe that Russo has fallen for the thief, it becomes fascinating: does Brosnan really love her or is he just stringing her along? Ultimately the movie, like Brosnan’s character, is too much in control for you to really care about these characters (or believe for a moment that something bad will happen to them), but it’s a nice ride. I haven’t seen the original, but now I’m going to watch for it.
