WHEN EXPERT SAFECRACKER NICK WELLS DECIDES IT MIGHT BE TIME TO SETTLE DOWN WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND DIANE AND STICK TO HIS LEGITIMATE BUSINESS, RUNNING A JAZZ NIGHTCLUB IN MONTREAL, HIS FRIEND AND PARTNER MAX HAS OTHER PLANS. HEAVILY IN DEBT TO A CRIME BOSS, MAX NEEDS NICK TO PULL ONE LAST HEIST.
Robert De Niro plays a weary thief tempted by wily old associate Marlon Brando into, yes, one last job, a plan to rob a priceless scepter from Montreal's Customs House. Director Frank Oz's heist thriller partners De Niro with hotshot upstart Edward Norton, and you'd have to be determinedly grumpy not to get half a kick out of Brando, DeNiro, and Norton--more than holding his own--coolly bouncing off one another in a Method paradise. Brando may be enormous and breathing heavily with every move, but his technique is as agile as it ever was; he still seems spontaneously clever. Oz doesn't have the most crackling visual style in the world, as the film is far too smooth for tension, and keeps tapping Howard Shore's music score to do most of the work in that department; the divine Angela Bassett is once again totally wasted in a 10-minute throwaway role as De Niro's girlfriend. The Score isn't anything new, and there isn't a single surprise, but if you're into this sort of thing you do respond to its polished familiarity. --Steve Wiecking
