Title: The Thomas Crown Affair
Genre: Drama
Rating: 9/10
Review: This is what dreams are mode of. To be that charming, confident and successful. So what does a man who can get anything he wants do? Simple, get the unobtainable. So Thomas goes out and steals a priceless piece of art, a Monet. The other main character is Catherine Banning's who is a bounty hunter for the insurers of the painting and her job is to get it back, in what ever way possible. As the story unfolds, she begins to fall for Thomas as the story unfolds, with her trying to pin the theft on him and him enjoying the challenge. This movie is well filmed, with great music, and well thought out script. There is a number of places where I really enjoyed the film, one of them was right at the beginning them Thomas enters his building and tries to get past a security guard to get into the elevator, and he says “what do you think, you own the place”. The security guard gets taken to the side and as the camera focuses on Thomas lips, you hear, “yes he does” and there is a great shot of he side of his lips going up in a beautiful grin. One of the other great parts is the psychiatrist that keeps making fun of him. Anytime there is a scene with her, she takes little pot shots at him and his ego. Another great little part. I truly enjoyed this movie on many levels, from just wishing I could be like Thomas Crown, to being able to steal a priceless piece of art. I liked it so much I bought it.
