“The Score” Scores Average Marks Across The Board
The Score (2001) is a turn of the century heist movie that has three massive stars on its poster. At this time Robert De Niro was a two-time Oscar winner and six-time nominee. Edward Norton had been nominated twice as a young actor and Marlon Brando is an eight-time nominee and two-time Academy Award Winner. For those counting, that’s 16 nominations and four wins between the three legs of The Score’s tripod.
