Transcript
Excuse me. Can you help me please? Last Norman. Yes. You go to the corner, you make a right, two blocks. Two blocks, then a left, one block. Two blocks on the corner, two blocks this way, one block that way, to the left. And you're right there. Okay, thank you. Thank you, Nick. What? What do you say? I said thank you, Nick. Max's guy in the custom house. Okay, bye. Thank you. Bye.
Original caption
The Score is one of those heist films that does not get mentioned enough. Released in 2001, it brought together Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, and Marlon Brando in a slow-burn crime story built around trust, deception, and one final job. One of the film’s standout moments comes when Norton’s character drops the innocent “Brian” act and reveals the much sharper thief hiding underneath. It completely changes the energy of the scene and shows just how calculated his character really is. The film is also historic because it was the only time De Niro and Brando ever shared the screen, despite both famously playing Vito Corleone in The Godfather films. For a heist movie, that cast alone is ridiculous.
