"The Score" -- good movie?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - "The Score" -- good movie?

Posted: 1/25/2002 5:19:38 PM EDT

I need to know by 8:30 p.m. CST, when it comes on pay-per-view.

If it's just a "tense thriller," I'll pass. But if there's some good gun play and action, I'm in.

Otherwise, I'll probably watch Heat, Way of the Gun or Ronin. Or just surf AR15.com.

I'd rather watch a new movie, though, so lemme know what you thought of it.

Awe, screw it. I'm not going to waste $4 on an unknown.

I'll watch The Way of the Gun again. With the wife and kid gone for the night, I'll actually be able to hear it. [:D]

The Score is the epitome of the 2-star movie. Not good, not bad.

I enjoy movies a lot and am easy on reviews of them. This one was slightly above average, but only slightly.

I could have done better. So much talent and so little inspiration.

The Way of the Gun it ain't
Geez nothing but a crappy .380 in the Score, I think.

I didn't really like it. Just something to pass the time. The ending was not really worth the wait.

Heat: Only needs a few scenes taken out or changed and it would be perfect.

Way of the Gun: More guns, less pregnant women! Ruined it for me.

Ronin: Superb action film but does lose focus at the end (Ice skating rink - typical later James Bond type badguys BS). Would redo the last third of the film.

It sucked.

Ending was predictable.

For a movie billed as an action movie, it was sadly lacking in action.

Edward Norton has seen much better days, although his limited scenes playing a retard were interesting.

Marlon Brando plays a constantly sweating fat guy (although he appears to have lost a fair bit of weight). Not having to see his huge sweaty body lumber around is worth having one's eyes amputated.

Robert de Niro is the same guy he was in Heat, minus CAR-15.

If you want to see a great heist movie, check out Oceans 11. That was a great flick!

Are you talking about the original Oceans 11 that was chock full o' Rat Pack goodness?
