Thomas Crown is a
self-made billionaire who can buy anything he wants and
is irresistible to women. But there are some things that
money can’t buy. Thomas Crown has run out of
challenges.
When an alarm sounds at a world class museum and someone
walks out with a priceless Monet, Crown is the last
person the New York police suspect. But one person
suspects him: Catherine Banning, the brilliant female
investigator hired to retrieve the painting no matter
what it takes. Catherine loves the chase as much as he
does and she’s on to his game. Crown has found his
challenge.
Two can play, but only one can win.
This is an incredibly sexy and slick movie, a vast
improvement on the original 1968 version based around a
bank robbery organised by Steve McQueen. You can't help
but get sucked in by the whole story - and thankfully the
new version has a much better ending.
A highly enjoyable film that should be on everyone's
"must see" list.
