The Score


An aging thief hopes to retire and live off his ill-gotten wealth with his lover when a young kid convinces him into doing one last heist that comes with a large payout.
This film is a tense, slick, and suspenseful heist flick that keeps you on the edge of your seat. With a legendary cast including Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, and Marlon Brando, the acting alone is worth the price of admission. Norton is a chameleon as the ambitious protégé, and De Niro is effortlessly cool as the veteran safe-cracker. The plot is full of genuine twists and the method for breaking the safe is surprisingly plausible. A criminally good time from director Frank Oz.
