Storyline

Four men pull off a daring daytime robbery at a bank, dump the money in a trash can and go their separate ways. Thomas Crown, a successful, wealthy businessman pulls up in his Rolls and collects it. Vickie Anderson, an independent insurance investigator is called in to recover the huge haul. She begins to examine the people who knew enough about the bank to have pulled the robbery and discovers Crown. She begins a tight watch on his every move and begins seeing him socially. How does the planner of the perfect crime react to pressure? Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

annoying and incredibly over-rated
27 August 1999 | by (stamford, ct) – See all my reviews

Thinking, "gee, the original is always better, let me watch that first", I caught this on tape last week. Yecch. Nothing happens, staring at each other not talking does not make "sexual tension", what little plot there is I wasn't buying and the soundtrack is absolutely grating. Hell, half the film is nothing but loud horrible music. Talk about a movie that didn't age well. And I'm a fan of McQueen and Dunaway !
