The recording is formatted to fit a TV set, not the newer LCD pannels. This was not disclosed to the buying community. Now there is a black border on all four sides of the movie, and the actual frame of the movie is quite a bit smaller than it should be.

Same basic plot as the 1968 Steve McQueen original. This time Pierce Brosnan is Crown, and Renne Ruso is the insurance specialist. The mark is a priceless Monet worth $100M. The McQueen movie was better, rather old school, with a slick, but intelligent plot. This one is also good, but attempts to be a little too clever, and comes off as "corny". After all, he is playing Thomas Crown, not James Bond. In my opinion, someone a lot better looking than Renne Ruso would have added more appeal to her character. Ruso just looks a little old and worn out to play the part of the "temptress".
Fabulous plot, settings...gorgeous actors (Rene and Pierce), fun movie. Great sound track, too.

Thomas Crown is an excellent cat and mouse movie that is stolen away by Hollywood's need to stuff in sex & nudity! Let's get this right out of the way! Rene Russo, who plays an Insurance investigator, shows off her boobs 3 times, at least 2 of which could be avoided. Russo struts her stuff in a sex scene with costar Pierce Brosnan. The scene is necessary, but showing off her boobs wasn't & could have been avoided based on the rest of the scene. Another time, Russo goes to the beach topless. Which? Russo would say in an interview that she felt it was OK because of her character's European roots, but the bottom line was that it was totally unnecessary! The only time baring her breasts fits is when she is trying to entice Brosnan with a sexy dance wearing a totally shear dress & nothing on underneath it. Moving on though. This is an excellent movie about a bored excessively rich playboy (Brosnan) who decides to steal a rare Monet painting from The Het. It is worth 100 mil! The insurance company sends Russo to help Police detectives Dennis Leary & Frankie Faison with the investigation. Russo's game is the hunt & she repeatedly thwarts the Police by daring & baiting Brosnan. Leary is attracted to her & she to Brosnan even though she is trying to convict him & get the painting back. The majority of the movie deals with the cat & mouse game played between Brosnan & Russo as well as their growing affection for each other. Brosnan always manages to stay 2 steps ahead of those trying to trap him & it all climaxes in an awesome finale as Brosnan returns the Monet right in front of 1/2 the NYC Police force. Film fans will enjoy frequent appearances by Fate Dunaway as Brosnan's shrink. Dunaway played Russo's character in the original costarred by Steve McQueen. This film is a wonderful romp that keeps you constantly guessing even though we already know "who donnit!" There is some humor as Brosnan outwits his would be captors & plenty of twists & turns. It's a shame they felt obligated to give us a healthy dose of Russo's boobs! They're not bad, but hardly needed to sell this terrific suspence film!Read full review
