Three generations of acclaimed actors team up in THE SCORE, an intriguing crime thriller that marks the first time that legendary Oscar winners Robert Deniro and Marlon Brando have shared the screen. Also starring Oscar nominee Edward Norton, THE SCORE wowed critics and audiences alike. When expert safecracker Nick Wells (De Niro) decides it might be time to settle down with his girlfriend Diane (Oscar nominee Angela Bassett) and stick to his legitimate business, running a jazz nighclut in Montreal, his friend and partner Max (Brando) has other plans. Heavily in debt to a crime boss, Max needs Nick to pull one last heist: help novice theif Jack Teller (Norton) steal a scepter worth $30 million from the House of Customs. Tempted by the $6 million payday, Nick reluctantly agrees to do the job. But what starts out as a safe bet turns into a high rick gamble when a clash of egos threatens to bring them all down. Featuring performances by jazz greats Cassandra Wilson and Mose Allison, THE SCORE is one of the smartest, most entertaining crime capers ever filmed, with surprises at every turn.
"[THE SCORE] is a sturdily diverting old fashioned heist thriller that looks like a masterpiece of sheer competence next to the slovenly action fantasy F/X grab bags that have been passing for summer entertainment." -- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
