Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe line "You're not boring, I'll give you that" was ad-libbed by Rene Russo.
- GoofsWhen Crown walks in front of the delivery truck, the shot from the cab clearly shows that a car is stopped 9 feet in front of the truck. So, why was the delivery truck traveling so fast to begin with? Then, in the long shot after the driver moves on, he accelerates at a high rate, as if there was no car stopped in front of him. If there is a traffic-jam, the car would not have traveled far at all during that time.
- Quotes
Catherine Banning: Damn, I hate being a foregone conclusion.

Better Than The Original
This remake in every way tops the original which you seldom see in a remake. Though Steve McQueen was considered the King Of Cool, Pierce Brosnan played Crown with all the debonair and confidence required of the character without going to far.
Rene Russo was a perfect fit. Her sex appeal surpasses that of Faye Dunaway in the original but in Dunaway's defense, the censors of her day would not have allowed what Russo got away with and McQueen was against nudity in movies. It goes without saying though that Russo and Prosnan had great chemistry.
The pacing was perfect, the music much better than the original, and the ending was totally unexpected. As a minor spoiler, I like how they don't reveal how he stole the other painting. There's a lot to like about this movie.
