The Score (film)

The Score is a 2001 crime drama. It is notable for its cast, which includes Robert De Niro as Nick Wells, a Canadian professional art thief, who wants out of the criminal life for good because of his age, Edward Norton as Jack Teller, the ambitious new kid who teams up with Wells for this "inside job," and Marlon Brando as Max, Wells' financial partner, who plans the caper and connects Wells with Teller. For Actor's Studio graduates Brando and De Niro, the only two people ever to win an Academy Award for the same starring role, as Don Corleone in The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, respectively, this was the first time they had actually worked together.

This 124-minute redux of the antihero seeking redemption and freedom after his inevitable "last big job" tale was directed by De Niro and Frank Oz. Oz is perhaps best known for lending his voice to Yoda in the Star Wars films. Some have claimed that during the production, Brando, who is infamously difficult to work with, by most accounts, repeatedly argued with Oz and called him "Miss Piggy," because of his previous work as a puppeteer and voice actor on Jim Henson's Muppets. http://www.edward-norton.org/score/scoretime.html
