This
is one of those formula caper movies, with DeNiro playing
the old, experienced thief who wants to make one last score, and Norton
as the young, emotional hothead who doesn't always take DeNiro's advice.
Add to that an old crime boss (Brando) and the girlfriend who wants
DeNiro to quit (Bassett), and you have the basics. Of course there
are complications, in both the planning of the theft itself, and the
motivations and loyalties of the various characters. We know there
will be some plot twists, and maybe some doublecrosses. Yet it's all
very well done, with the outstanding cast playing it to perfection.
If you like this genre, it's definitely worth a look.
