Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

jacksflicks My favorite De Niro role is some kind of wise guy or crook. He has that predatory squint. Here he's paired with Edward Norton, another favorite. They have a great inter-generational confrontation.Unlike some others, I have no problem with the "old heist story". ALL heist stories are old! It's how they're pulled off that's fun. And this one is pulled off exquisitely. The plot is tight, the pacing is perfect, the photography is great, and there's a nice payoff in the end. Same applies to Ronin, another De Niro fave.The only problem here is Brando. Yes, he was always a draw, but I agree with another reviewer who says his character could have been demoted or omitted and not be missed. All he does is waddle around and be Brando. I find myself looking for that little in-ear receiver they say he used for his lines. And I guess they had to get their money's worth having apparently paid by the pound.Anyway, it's delicious to see De Niro and Norton doing their stuff.

altersaege Somehow I have found this just now. And I thought, wow, De Niro, Norton and Brando! It must be special. Well, so so. They were special. The film wasn't. It was a bit weak, quite predictable, and did not felt special. I must admit that having watched The Italian Job (also with Norton) and Oceans Twelve and Thirteen before, may have contributed to feel this movie as "already seen", although this movie was made before. A merit which must be recognized. Still, this does not changes that the movie was not as incredible as I expected from this collection of actors. But it is not a bad movie and as long as you do not come in with huge expectations, you will not be disappointed.

lemon_magic I really enjoyed "The Score", but compared to a lot of other "heist/caper" movies, this one seems to have the volume dialed down to about "3", and it has a sort of cumulative problem with the pacing.It's not that any given scene drags; in fact almost every scene in the movie is well done, well acted, filled with atmosphere, and absorbing. But by the time the actual break-in begins, you're more than ready for some action and movement. Typical example of this is the sound track, which features a quiet, throbbing horn motif that leaves the listener hanging and unresolved over and over again in scene after scene. That isn't to say that I didn't like it (it is, in fact, instantly memorable and hypnotic)...but after 90 minutes or so, I wanted something else.I think I understand what Oz was going for here, and I think he mostly achieved it. In fact, I bought a (discounted) copy for my collection, because I'm sure that I will want to see it again.I just wish someone had punched off the "mute" button a little sooner,or little more often.

David Arnold Nick Wells (Robert De Niro) is an experienced professional thief and has his eyes on retiring from the game and settling down. However, when Max (Marlon Brando), a long time acquaintance, comes to Nick with details of a score that is worth millions, Nick decides to do this one last job. The reward...a priceless French scepter which is being kept under lock & key at the Montreal Customs House. Jack Teller (Ed Norton) is Max's inside man for the job and has been working at the Customs House as a mentally challenged man who goes by the name of Brian. Working together, they have to put aside any differences they have to enable them to pull off the biggest heist they have ever done.I first saw The Score when it was released 13 years ago and it may not be the most original movie out there - a heist movie with various plot twists & turns and trust issues between the main characters - but that doesn't stop it from being a great movie.The pace is good and even though there are a fewer, shall we say, slower moments to break up the main story, they are necessary and they don't ruin the overall pace of the film. The story develops nicely as the film goes on, building up suspense and tension for the main heist scenes.De Niro and Norton are excellent together here, especially when Norton plays his two characters going from Jack to Brian and back again. De Niro plays these parts superbly also (well, he plays any part superbly really) and plays them in such a way that even when his character isn't saying anything, you can see that he's calculating things out instead of just sitting there with a blank look on his face.Overall, this movie is a must watch and if you love heist movies and movies like Ronin, Heat, and Usual Suspects then you will love The Score.
