Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
adonis98-743-186503 An aging thief hopes to retire and live off his ill-gotten wealth when a young kid convinces him into doing one last heist. Despite a cast of talented people such as Robert De Niro (The Godfather Part II, Casino), Edward Norton (The Incredible Hulk, American History X) and Marlon Brando (The Godfather, Superman: The Movie and Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut) The Score does too little to keep it's viewers interested and even the experienced actors like De Niro and Brando were just meh in their roles on the other hand Norton's perfomance was good when he was passing as a mental health patient but other than that? The movie was boring and dull from start to finish (4.0/10)
tomgregory1989 I didn't really have high hopes going into this but its actually very well done. Great characters and the plot is simple yeah, but its executed well enough to be entertaining. You really care about whether or not the heist will succeed or fail. It's different to most movies in this category so it wasn't boring or repetitive. 8 of of 10 stars.
LeonLouisRicci If You Flinch when You Hear a Movie is a Slow-Burn, well, this is one that could be Definitive. Immersed in an Immense Minutia of Tradecraft connected with High-End Jewel Thieves, the Film Unfolds at a "Cool Jazz" Pace, and Literally a "Cool Jazz" Place.Robert Di Niro, Edward Norton, and Marlon Brando spar for Acting Honors, but the Truth is...it's a Tie. No One Actor outshines the other and it is Surprisingly, quite a Spectacle of Underplaying. It is this Level Playing Field where the Movie gets some of its Charm.Some may find it too Melancholy, but the Principles Involved in setting up the Heist are Skilled Professionals and are very Careful Operatives. Norton being the Youngest is the most Gregarious, but even He is Steady most of the time. One of the Highlights has Norton Playing a Mentally Challenged Character (a palsy victim janitor) to get access to the Crime Sight. It's Doubtful that Today this would even be Considered in a Politically Correct Environment. It's a Throwback to Crime Films of a Bye-Gone Era. Not for Everyone, but those with Patience and Strong Attention Spans will most likely get a Kick out of the Actors and Enjoy the Suspenseful Conclusion.
Tss5078 In what was widely considered to be a passing of the torch, three generations of Hollywood superstars, joined forces for a thriller known as The Score. I found this to be a very strange film, as it features both moments of high intensity and moments that are painfully slow. Robert De Niro stars as Nick Wells, the best safe cracker you could find, but as he's getting older and seeking more stability in his life. Considering retirement, Wells is asked to be part of one last big score, that will have him, and his fence, set for life. Wells reluctantly agrees, before finding out there is a catch, he'll be working with his possible replacement, an arrogant and cocky young man, who could wind up getting them all caught. As far as acting goes, you may never see a better trio of leading men, De Niro, Marlon Brando, and especially Edward Norton were absolutely terrific in their roles. The film however doesn't really take off until the crime actually begins. For over an hour they are in the planning stage, painstakingly going over every detail, and it really is as bad as it sounds, in fact, I almost turned it off, until the wheels were set in motion. From that point, the film really is terrific, with an ending that will leave your jaw on the floor! I was very happy with the last forty minutes of the film, and all three actors were fantastic, but so much of this film moves at a snails pact that I really couldn't give it a higher rating. This is a two hour film, that could have easily been shortened to an hour and a half, without losing any of it's integrity. All the detailed plans and unnecessary back and fourth make the first hour of this film painful, but if you can stick with it, the second hour is certainly worth it.
