    Interesting mixed reviews for this film....I personally thought it was the best film I have seen for some time. If there are faults with it, they certainly didn't bother me one bit. Fascinating and involving, and Russo was superb. I would recommend it to anyone.

    Pretty darned ordinary. I don't know if Rene Russo can carry a lead role like this anymore. Then again, maybe the material is just middle of the road.

    Daft and dandy, deft and dashing, a brilliantly crafted heist caper that has all the hallmarks of an expert magic trick. McTiernan directorial sleight of hand is something to behold, transforming what's essentially fluff into one of the most joyous and elating entertainments in recent times.

    A magic show for mystery buffs. Suspensful, engaging & nondisturbing. Pretends to be about the inconsequential, but is actually about nothing at all. But it's really shrewd people who are trotting through this non-event. If you are uninformed as to the appreciation of the splendid fine art that serves as the film's prime prop, expect to remain so.

    This was interesting, but the sex scene was a little overdone. Brosnan must've had fun playing a billionaire, although he's not to far off. Those poeple are living the life...really.

  1. A sealskin-slick, cat-and-mouse romance-caper trifle with a hard-on for wealth that feels downright Trumpian.
  2. McTiernan's film mines what substance it has from its two stars, but is admittedly about keeping up its own appearances.

    The world didn't need a remake of The Thomas Crown Affair. We didn't need it, but we got it anyway -- and it's pretty terrific.
