Last night, The Score was sitting on my doorstep as I walked in. I could not recollect why I would have chosen this movie to see on my netflix queue. Until I had read the short blurb, and also popped the movie into the player, that it dawned on me. I like Ed Norton and Robert De Niro, and I had not seen this movie, so in a flash of brilliance couple of months ago, I had put this on the queue.
The movie is really watchably cool and extremely well cast. Ed Norton really pulls it off superbly, as a retard that cleans floors and also the cunning thief. There is something about his contenance that carries this duallity so dang well! The other movie where he plays this dual kind of role is in Primal Fear. I think it was last year, when I watched Primal Fear, that I really wanted to see Ed Norton's movies. Of course, Robert De Niro plays his role as aging thief who finally partners up with Ed Norton to steal a sceptre from Montreal customs offices. The plan goes great until Ed Norton decides to mess around with Robert De Niro to steal it all for himself. Hmmmm... sounds like the Italian Job, where Ed Norton steals the gold from his partners. Goes to show most movies are made from mish-mash of earlier movies or not. Anyways, it is like I said, watchably cool.
