I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I had it on DVD, I thought I might as well check it out again. I remember very well when I first heard of this movie. Indeed, I thought it sounded really awesome and I was just so excited to see a flick starring 3 acting giants, Robert De Niro, Edward Norton and Marlon Brando. Of course, at the time, it had been at least 2 decades since Marlon Brando had done anything remotely interesting (except maybe 'A Dry White Season' which I haven't seen yet) but De Niro and Norton were still at the top of their game so I was hopeful. Unfortunately, the damned thing turned out to be one of the most generic heist movies I had ever seen. I mean, sure, it was rather well made and watchable but it was also completely unoriginal and predictable and they didn't even try to come up with an inspiring title. Of course, at the end, they gave us a twist but anyone could have guessed it so it had pretty much zero impact and entertaining value. To conclude, in spite of its flaws, I still think it is watchable, if only to see all these great actors in one room acting together but the damned thing was definitely a waste of great talents.ย
