Customer Reviews: De Niro and Norton at their best! February 5, 2007 Inmi Opinion (Cadiz,Spain) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful Robert De Niro plays a guy called Nick who is part-time safe breaker and Jazz club owner who is about to retire when approached by Brando he is persuaded to accept this "one last job".A young and cocky Edward Norton is the inside man and plays a brilliant part as a mentally backward person who is not!Brando has a somewhat cameo role and Angela Bassett is the love interest.The film runs at a fast pace throughout with a fair amount of edge of seat drama and a superb end twist.I do not want to give away any of the plot.A really good film, well-produced and directed and a bargain buy. A by the numbers heist movie which succeeds for the reasons that it shouldn't. March 13, 2009 Gareth Edwards (Cornwall) I was drawn to this movie by the mixture of Bobby D, Edward Norton and the late Marlon Brando all sharing the screen, but in the end, I enjoyed it for a vastly different reason to the acting (which on all accounts apart from Norton's, was inexcusably poor.) br / br /The way this film succeeds is strange. br /It takes all the clichés of the heist movie: br /1. The middle aged guy who wants to go straight but gets roped into doing "one last job" by his old friend/superior/boss/all 3 at once br /2. The old friend/superior/boss/all 3 at once who is greatly uncharacterised that ropes the "one last job" guy into said job. Sub-plot about getting into debt with some dodgy mob types is usually included. br /3. The cocky, volatile young gun. br /4. The girlfriend of the "one last job" guy that's only there because if there were any more testerone in the film, dvd players all around the world would begin imploding. br / br /And then it combines them all into the same picture, totally by the numbers, and the effect this gives is that you imagine the characters breaking the fourth wall and winking at you, letting you know that it's self-referentialist idiocy, which makes it all okay. br / br /Because these 4 clichés are a cinematic legacy which you can't help but love, this film knowingly exacts each cliché PERFECTLY, leaving you with a smile on your face despite the fact you know this is in all likelihood the most unoriginal film ever made. br /And through its complete and utter lack of originality, it almost becomes the exact opposite, and makes for a tongue in cheek thrill ride. br / br /Bonus points for Edward Norton proving his versatility by playing basically 2 people at once. Good thriller April 12, 2009 Jobob (Nottingham, England) Really enjoyed this film, top acting from de niro and especially Edward Norton who pretends to be handicapped in order to check out the heist and set it up. Good twist at the end, definitely worth a watch. a difficult film to review... January 30, 2008 redmanshouts (liverpool, uk) 7 out of 8 found this review helpful I did enjoy this film and feel most viewers will no doubt agree. It has three great actors and a story that is satisfying to its conclusion. A strange performance by Brando, almost without effort and dare i say, it shows. De Niro is much better and holds the film together well, very convincing as the cautious thief and we can relate to his caution where the other two are concerned. Edward Norton is excellent and proberbly the most memorable performance of the film. The way he can change into a mentally/physically challenged person is very impressive. Although it does seem as though he is showing off (who can blame him, he is alongside two of the greatest actors of all time)
