The Score

Three giants of the cinema, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro and Edward Norton, star in Frank Oz’s caper thriller. Brando is the crime boss who pressurises ageing thief De Niro into one last big job with ‘inside man’ Norton as his accomplice. But as the cocky Norton starts compromising the job, De Niro becomes more worried about the chance of success., Canadian safecracker Nick Wells has lost the taste for crime, but one final offer from his old fence Max lures him back into the game. Only this time he’s working with a young hotshot who has his own plans for the theft of a priceless sceptre., Three generations of method acting giants unite for this crime thriller written by Kario Salem and directed by Frank Oz. Robert De Niro stars as Nick Wells, an aging thief whose specialty is safecracking and who is on the verge of retiring to a life of ease, running his jazz club and romancing his girlfriend Diane (Angela Bassett). But before he can ride off into the sunset, Nick is pressured to do one last job by his mentor and business partner, a flamboyant and extravagant upscale fence named Max (Marlon Brando). Max is plotting the heist of the Montreal Customs House, and he’s got a man on the inside, Jackie Teller (Edward Norton), a talented but volatile crook who has managed to ingratiate himself with the facility’s staff as a fellow employee suffering from cerebral palsy. Jackie bristles at Nick’s interference in “his” score, however, and threatens violence when it seems he’s going to be cut out of the action. In the meantime, Nick grows increasingly ill at ease about the operation, as it violates his two most important dictums in thievery: always work alone and never pull a job in your own city.
