"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

The Thomas Crown Affair | 1999 | R | - 7.2.6

Romantic sparks fly between a wealthy businessman (Pierce Brosnan) who stole a Monet painting and a bounty hunter (Rene Russo) hired to retrieve it. Also with Faye Dunaway, Denis Leary, Esther Canadas and Mischa Hausserman. [1:49]

SEX/NUDITY 7 - Mild sexual innuendo and flirtation; several kisses, some passionate. A woman's dress drops to the floor and we see her bare shoulders as she takes a man's shirt off; we then see them having intercourse in various places around a house (there's little movement or sound; his bare backside and her bare breasts are visible several times throughout the scene). A man and woman share a sensual dance. From the side, we see a nude woman lying on a nude man's back as they talk in bed. A woman's breasts and bare backside are visible underneath her sheer dress; also, we see -- in non-sexual scenes -- a man's bare chest and back, a woman's bare breasts as she sunbathes and a woman's bare back and the side of her breasts. A few times we see bare breasts on a nude statue; we also see a painting of a nude couple embracing (his bare backside and her breast are visible). Part of a woman's bare upper thigh is seen through a slit in her skirt.

VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A man is shocked by an electrical wire (we see some sparks flying around his body) but isn't injured; another man is shocked with what looks like a cattle prod (he loses consciousness and falls to the ground, but is later okay). A man is nearly hit with a car. A man pushes a boy out of his way and in a few scenes people shove their way through a crowded museum. A woman struggles to break free from a man as he kisses and embraces her.

LANGUAGE 6 - About 4 F-words, many scatological references, many mild obscenities and some insults.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Art theft, billionaires, bounty hunters, trust, deception, falling in love.

MESSAGE - You can never predict the actions of someone who enjoys deceiving others.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
