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.

Facts

Despite the powerful draw of the cast, the negative reviews had correctly anticipated public response to the film. After a July 13, 2001 opening, the sixty-eight million dollar film earned a gross box office take of just $71,069,884.http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2001/SCORE.html
