Movie of the Week! (6/23/13 - 6/29/13)

The Score (2001)


Sorry about the lack of a Movie of the Week! the last two weeks. We took a little bit of an early summer vacation from the segment. Don't worry though, MotW is back and better than ever with this installment and the ones to follow for the rest of the summer. So be sure and check back right here at Shawgoes to the Movies every week for a new movie!

Throughout his career, Robert DeNiro has done pretty much everything you can do in the world of crime. He's played mobsters, a CIA agent, a safe cracker, and many of these roles have become iconic due to DeNiro's outright mastery of the craft. Combine DeNiro with another great actor who's more than a little familiar with the world of crime, in Marlon Brando in his last film role and you get a film that offers many great reasons for viewing. The Score is a crime thriller that Roger Ebert called "the best pure heist movie in recent years." In addition to being well received by critics, it was also embraced by audiences across the country netting $113.5 million at the box office.
