"The
Score "
Three
of the greatest actors of their respective generations come
together to create one hell of a heist flick.
Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro and Edward Norton play three
slick criminals looking for the one big "Score".
They have found it. Director Frank Oz has put together a classy
take on the new age heist film.
The story is simple, DeNiro is an aged thief, he feels he
has done all he needs to do and is ready to settle down and
marry Angela Bassett. He owns a jazz club in Montreal and
has enough money to get by.
Brando
is DeNiro's mentor and is in need of help and money as he
is in deep to another big crime guy. He tells DeNiro all he
needs is this one last job done and the he will have his blessings
to go off and do whatever he wants.
This
is where Edward Norton comes in as the new partner who has
been scoping out the location for the heist.
Great
acting and directing is plentiful in this film. There are
some good twists involved as well as so well timed laughs.
The climax in tense and thrilling.
This
movie will satisfy the adults who thoroughly enjoyed returning
to theaters last year with "What Lies Beneath".
