I didn't know the 90's TCA was a remake.
I'll have to check out the McQueen version. I actually need to rewatch the Brosnan one. It was good.

Trailer looks fun. Kenny B is always a good villain and the lady is attractive.

Why does the movie need to be out to know it is woke trash?

So he didn't remake Thomas Crown Affair, he used the name as a costume to change the narrative of the past. I was actually fine with a straight up remake starting MBJ, then he stepped on his own feet.



You know he could have just made a heist movie about anti-colonial heroes repatriating stolen artifacts. Can the resident liberals tell me why he just didn't do that thing and why he had to subvert your expectations?

Oh dear.

If that is the premise, it's a hard pass from me.

The historian in me just can't.

Virtually all African artifacts would be lost to time, buried under the ruins of some warlord's compound. . .it they even made it THAT long

As an MBJ fan, I'll say I hope the budget is tiny. Can't see this having very broad appeal

While everyone is going back and forth on the race swap, I am wondering what revenge has to do with this movie.


Hes just repeating the Killmonger character from Black Panther.

The response will be

“That stuff really isn’t in there”

“Ok it’s in there but it makes the story better”

“The original was exactly the same and you like that one”

“Why do you care?”

“You’re an ist-phobe for noticing any of this”

No need for this film. Get an original idea, Hollywood.

Oof, the trailer already made me not like it with it looking like he is now going to be more hands on with fights and such. I like the Brosnan one because of the lack of that from the rich guy. He used money and cool tricks to get out of things. This makes me want to see it even less.

Michael B Jordan thought his racism and perspective would be original anyway

Eh, give me Elba or Washington, if this is the way you're going.

But, this movie will win a BET award.

And for the record, Connery's adaptation was better anyway.

I dont dont give two shits what color you are, and I might be the only one that thinks this, but I dont get Michael B Jordan and everyone saying he's one of the greatest actors alive.

He's ok, but come on now.
