Every
thief
dreams
of
the
big
heist
that
will
allow
him
to
leave
the
business
of
crime
behind.
Every
thief
except
Nick
(Robert
De
Niro),
a
cool,
methodical
safecracker
who
never
takes
on
long-shot
jobs
until
his
longtime
partner,
Max
(Marlon
Brando),
offers
him
the
big
score--to
filch
a
priceless
scepter
from
the
Montreal
customs
house.
Wary
about
the
job,
Nick
and
the
hotheaded
customs
house
"insider,"
Jackie
(Edward
Norton),
begin
to
dissect
the
elaborate
details
of
entering
the
building,
avoiding
the
security
measures,
blowing
the
safe,
and
escaping
with
the
scepter.
But
as
in
every
thrilling
crime
caper,
plans
go
awry.
Skilled
comic
director
Frank
Oz
is
clearly
comfortable
working
with
the
best
method
actors
from
the
past
three
generations.
Brando's
Max
bursts
with
joyful
cynicism,
while
De
Niro
is
Brando's
perfect
foil,
so
collected
that
every
smile
seems
like
a
revelation.
Norton's
Jackie
is
far
more
expressive,
but
it
is
Norton's
smallest
movements--holding
a
gaze
a
half
beat
too
long--that
hint
at
the
secret
motives
pulsing
beneath
his
skin.
Smooth
like
the
scotch
Nick
likes
to
drink,
and
swirling
with
tension,
THE
SCORE
provides
the
real
payoff
to
the
audience.
