About This Movie

The Score is an interesting blend of heist film and character study. Frank Oz directs with a steady hand, balancing the tension of the heist with character moments that feel grounded. The dynamic between Robert De Niro and Edward Norton is fascinating; De Niro plays the weary vet, while Norton’s enthusiasm brings a certain unpredictability. There's a tangible atmosphere, almost palpable, that underscores the stakes. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to digest the characters' motivations. The practical effects in the heist scenes add a layer of realism, which is refreshing. It’s not groundbreaking, but it offers a solid look at ambition and the cost of getting older in a world that’s constantly changing.

Released on July 13, 2001, by Paramount Pictures.Shot on location in Montreal, Canada.Features a score by composer Howard Shore.Runtime of 124 minutes, rated R for language and some violence.
