Country: GER/CAN/US
Technical: col/2.35:1 124m
Director: Frank Oz
Cast: Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, Angela Bassett, Marlon Brando
Synopsis:
A career burglar plans one last score before retiring: lifting a priceless Bourbon sceptre from the Customs House in Montreal.
Review:
A time-honoured premise, which the star endows with some measure of class, even though it is too reminiscent of the part he played in Heat. Norton is the actual revelation, with his convincing impersonation of a mentally handicapped night orderly, and the Montreal locations are refreshing. Brando, in his last film, is coherent, while Oz and composer Howard Shore impart a sense of style, but it is all wrapped up far too neatly.
