You've got to elaborate on your opinion here! In what way was
the remake of THOMAS CROWN better? The robbery was inferior.
It was not shot as well, it was not cast as well, and was
implausable to execute. The characterizations were
improbable. The whole pretentious artsy-fartsy ending was
just awful. The original was straight-forward. It's rough
edges very realistic with regard to this type of crime.
I thought THE TAILOR OF PANAMA was pretty good, however,
although it pales next to OUR MAN IN HAVANA, on which it is
admittedly based.
