      Audience Member I first saw Brosnan in Remington Steele. This movie totally sealed my fandom. I think it's probably the best heist film I've ever seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Great Heist film especially after seeing Thomas Crown Affair. Tom Atkins and Noble Willingham have great supporting roles. Tom Skerrit plays the bad guy and Pierce Brosnan owns it up. If you like Thomas Crown Affair I would highly recommend this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite good for con movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A great heist movie. I recommend seeing it.
