The Thomas Crown Affair

The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) is a stylish crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by John McTiernan, the film stars Pierce Brosnan as Thomas Crown — a bored billionaire who steals a Monet worth a hundred million dollars from a New York museum purely for the thrill of it.

Enter Catherine Banning, an insurance investigator played by Rene Russo. She's smart enough to know Crown did it and sharp enough to use every angle she has. The problem is that the two keep edging past the line between hunter and hunted. Denis Leary plays the NYPD detective watching it all unfold, visibly annoyed that nobody is following any rules. Faye Dunaway, the lead of the 1968 original, turns up in a small supporting role.

McTiernan keeps the pace lean and the surfaces glossy — chess games, fake-outs, and a museum sequence that earns its reputation. Stream The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) online on iFILM.
