Summary: THREE GIANTS
Review: This is the first and last chance to see three successful generations doing a GREAT movie. Robert De Nero adds another successful mission to his life... but when it comes to Edward Norton, oh THIS GUY IS MORE THAN WORDS CAN SEE!!! Some actors are born to be Stars... and Ed Norton acting job is so POWERFUL. Ed Norton's roles can never be played by another actor (remember "Primal Fear"?). He is so talented that he can fool the audience every time with his acting! He can generate successfully different faces and characters in his roles that no other actor can do! The story is thrilling... and the suspense is high... and the acting is remarkable!

Summary: Even De Niro's brilliance can't save this garbage film ...
Review: What an unpleasant surprise ... as a rabid deNiro fan I was expecting another 'Heat' film with De Niro, Al Pacino and Val Kilmer .... WRONG ... This movie comes nowhere close to the quality entertainment that we have come to expect. Although De Niros role as super thief surrounded by 'you better do everything I tell you, or the gig is off' partners in crime is well depicted, but, that is about it as far as this film is concerned. There is no character development here, the story sucks and I bet DeNiro would probably want to forget about this film and pull it from the shelves if he could .... What a dog .. save your money

Summary: Don't let the trailer or TV spots fool you....
Review: "The Score" is not the action adventure thriller it was made out to be that you expected from viewing TV or at the movies. Instead, it's a character driven crime drama about two men, both of different ages determined to make one very big payoff. It's engrossing to see DeNiro, Brando, and Norton all share the screen with each other as the three best actors of their generation. They're etched in their characters so well that they manage to hold the plot down as entertaining. Frank Oz, doing a complete 180 from any lightweight summer comedy he's directed, handles the material with finesse, with beautiful cinematography and a nice jazz score. Very much an entertaining film that is a character driven heist flick, and not an action movie.

Summary: Well Worn Plot, but......
Review: This is still a good flick. Even though the story has been done before.... De Niro is his usual expert self. He is always easy to watch. He plays his parts well. Brando... What to say. I expected much more from this pairing. Thankfully, Brando's role is small in the overall scheme of the film. He appears for mere minutes. The real story is with De Niro. Anyway, the coolness factor is very high. De Niro as the experienced thief is great. Norton as the new guy is also good. The item to be stolen is well guarded. Norton is the inside man on this job. The film moves along very quickly. Not a lot of the technical details or planning is explained. It would have been better if they would have gone into that a little more. But, they had Brando and De Niro. Probably too much $$$ involved to go that direction. I can easily reccommend this film.

Summary: Entertaining twists and plot, but way too fast
Review: Even though "The Score" is over two hours, it doesn't seem like it as you're hit with a barrage of information, action, and acting by a barrage of great actors and then boom, the movie's over. Howard Shore's score is great, but they keep pulling the main suite too many times to substitute for drama. It works maybe the first time. Norton, after success after success, does a great acting job here, and his impersonation of a mentally retarded janitor is awesome. DeNiro seems like he never ages, but his acting technique is. Someone that suprised me was Brando the balloon, who was funny. Bassett wasn't neccessary here; if she would have been on longer, sure, but someone else could have saved Paramount money and done just as well.

Summary: Entertaining, But No Classic
Review: I'd give this 3.5 stars. This is certainly an enjoyable film and it has it's moments, but given the caliber of the actors involved, I had expected more. There's enough action to keep the movie moving along, but it doesn't take Felinni to see where it's headed fairly early on. The video and audio quality are fine. The audio is less dynamic than many modern movies, but that's OK since this wasn't meant to compete with bombastic titles. Plus, it means that you don't have to rack the volume up to hear the quieter conversations, then back down during the loud scenes.

Summary: Not So Much A Caper As A Slow, Stately Waltz
Review: I give this two stars; i'd give it only one (which is all the script and direction surely deserve), but anything that has DeNiro and Brando just *breathing* on the screen simultaneously is better than that. But it's slow and it's dumb and it's a total waste of time. I find it hard to believe that baby celluloids died to make this film possible. The script and the direction (by the usually-reliable Frank Oz) never manage to generate any significant amount of suspense or heat, and several technical details of the overall plot are ludicrous. Ed Norton as the potentially-treacherous partner is ridiculous and a bit offensive in his impersonation (to penetrate the targeted facility) of someone suffering some form of brain damage. Brando might as well not be there at all and DeNiro has phoned in a performance that is so monotone no particular part of it stands out as offensive or interesting. Almost the only interesting parts of the film are the details of safecracking; and you can see more of that, with better storis wrapped around it, in "Breaking In" or "Thief". A total waste of time.

Summary: Three fine actors overgrazing on the scenery.
Review: Three of the best actors ever, wasted puttering around inside a caper film. Angela Basset should be awfully insulted by having been cast the role of 'the girl.' Brando does give a nice Sidney Greenstreet performance. Worth seeing but one should have to buy it.
