The Score (2001): Robert De Niro, Edward Norton and Marlon Brando


     Directed by Frank Oz, based on a story by Daniel E. Taylor and Kario Salem, The Score (2001) is a superior heist film with plenty of twists. The story concerns a master thief, who is teamed up with an inside guy, with the mission to steal a valuable 17th Century golden sceptre from the highly-secure basement vault of the Montreal Customs House. Action, smart writing, bright sparks, security computer hacking and safe-cracking create an interesting two hours of art theft. Masterful acting is provided by three generations of of greats: Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro and Edward Norton. Angela Bassett costars, along with real-life Jazz musicians Mose Allison and Diana Krall.
