'The Score' - De Niro, Ed Norton

Few days back I saw the movie "the score". This movie had Robert De Niro and Edward Norton in the lead role. De Niro with his method acting skills kind of steals the movie from Edward Norton. I enjoyed the movie for the good-thriller element that it had.

De Niro's role is similar to most of his other roles. He is more of a listener and doesnt talk much in this movie. Ed Norton is the exact opposite of De Niro. De Niro and Ed Norton have some fissures, but nevertheless go ahead with the plan of snatching a priceless artifact from a museum. In the climax, when the heist is almost done, Ed Norton double crosses De Niro. At this point Ed Norton tells De Niro how he hates De Niro's way of doing things. Not sure whether this is just my imagination or rather my interpretation but that Ed Norton's dialogue showed contempt for the method acting style. Enjoyed that part of Ed Norton's performance. The plot really thickened during that time till the time when we get to know that De Niro had actually out-classed Ed Norton again. My interpretation, maybe method acting has won again.

Anyone who likes the fast-thriller movies, will enjoy this one.
