Delightful Heist movie starring De Niro and Norton

The Score is a perfect heist movie, because it brings in a lot of character development along with some good, human drama. Robert De Niro stars as a man who is good at taking scores. He is not just good at his craft, he is the best around. Robert plays this character with perfection as a man who is meticulous, methodical and all business. He never takes a big risk until one happens to present itself from his friend. Soon there are multiple snags and setbacks that would scare off most amateurs, but again this man is the master of what he does, and that includes some mind games.

Enter Edward Norton, playing the part of the man on the "inside" of the big job. Norton is superb in his character play of a mentally handicapped janitor at the facility where everything is going to take place. He also brings out the youth and arrogance that his characters needs to be the opposite of the man Robert plays, and that sets the stage for some tense moments at the end of the film.

The humanity is the frustration of the person who is setting up the score, a man who knows his life is perhaps over if things do not go well. None other than the legendary Marlon Brando plays this character. De Niro's character also has a choice between a final take and a new life with a new love, a theme that is very similar to the one his character played in the 1995 Heist style film called "Heat" directed by Michael Mann.

The film has great action as well as breathtaking moments, whether it is high tech surveillance or the snatch and go itself, The Score plays out with some nice surprises till the very end. With an excellent cast and strong direction, it finishes out as a very tight, character driven film.

The Score

Great movie. I dont understand all the hate towards this movie, but it has great actors with a great plot.

De Niro says that he was already done, but there was ONE last big thing he had to do before then. This movie kept me entertained throughout the whole thing, because you wanted to know what he was gonna do next and so on. This movie has great actors, and Norton did a great job of playing 2 different characters at the same time. The story could have maybe been a little more fleshed out with backgrounds, but it doesnt take away from the movie at all in my opinion.

The movie has very little action in the beggining, then it grows more and more as the movie progesses. The best parts of the movie are the planning of the heist, and the end when everything takes place. Also at the VERY end when De Niro and Norton are talking on the phone. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes the main actors, or just a great overall movie.

The Score: Smart With Heart

The Score is hugely entertaining. Set in Montreal, Canada, the environs are familiar yet slightly foreign. Robert De Niro's gentleman thief character Nick is likeable and believable. His day job is owner of the NYC jazz club.

In a memorable scene, Nicky offers rock solid middle class advice to would be hot shot Edward Norton's character by advising him never to take longshots or high risks. "Make a list of everything you want and take the next twenty years to get it." Sounds more like a stock broker than a master thief.

The Score's score is superb. Jazzy and atmospheric.

The actual theft and escape scene is creative and well orchestrated.

Great movie with a great twist.

The youth against the experience!

The score is film with a double reading. On one hand is an electrifying and chilling story of a specialist of first order and a very young newcomer (Edward Norton in an extraordinary performance as the young defiant). This double speech will intermingle in order to convey us one of the most breathtaking movies of this year.

You will realize how you can make close affinities with that old cult movie. "Cincinnati Kid" . This was, on the other hand, the last Op. of Marlon Brando, too.

Good flick !

This is a robbery movie that has some twists and turns .. I think you will enjoy it.. With these two actors you really cant go wrong. DO not read much of the story-line because the ending you dont want to know... watch the movie ...!!!
