Mystery A multi-millionaire (Brosnan) is looking for a little excitement in his life and decides to execute the perfect crime by emptying out a bank’s safe in broad daylight. A female insurance investigator (Russo) attempts to get the goods on him and ends up falling in love. This is a remake of the 1968 film starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway.

	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"[It] relies heavily on the charm of its two stars (...) In a movie brimming over with fake art, [Russo] is the genuine article that makes the show worth watching."	POS
United States	Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune	"Remade with lots of pizzazz but little wit or soul"	NEU
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"A moderately diverting entertainment as sleek (...) it takes no extraordinary chances and delivers no major surprises"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The remake has a superior caper but less chemistry (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"An ultrasleek thriller"	POS
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"[Brosnan and Russo] glide by glossily enough to give it the earmarks of a guilty pleasure. But guilty is the key word, since this papier-mache romance seems to think that cupidity and Cupid are interrelated."	NEU
United Kingdom	Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"What we get to see is the development of a reasonably absorbing relationship between two mature adults"	POS
