Don't know how I hadn't heard of this film before but I hadn't and I bought it purely on the strength of the cast. Was I disappointed? Not one bit. Norton like to stretch himself and he certainly did in this movie, think 'Rain Man'! De Niro and Brando did what they do best, play themselves. Its about a score, a heist, a robbery. Does it go to plan? Of course not! Watch it, you won't be disappointed!
The last Big Job, a common crime caper theme but with superb actors, twists, action and slick characters. Robert De Niro is at his usual best, Edward Norton plays a crafty ambitious tea leaf and Marlon Brando is a greedy fixer. Very entertaining, gripping thriller, interesting plot, exciting suspense scenes and some excllent acting. Definetly worth a look.
FANTASTIC FILM AND IS THAT ANY WONDER? WHEN YOU HAVE A GOOD COMBINATION OF GREAT ACTORS SUCH AS DENIRO AND NORTON, THE RESULT CAN ONLY BE FANTASTIC. HIGH POWERED ACTION AND NON STOP FROM START TO FINISH. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
This is a very clever movie, full of twists and turns that make a good movie less 'obvious' (like some American movies can be!), and keep you thinking. It's a clever idea in the first place, but very well acted by DeNiro/Norton and the late Brando. Norton portrail of a handicapped man is very believable, and not at all distastefull in my opinion.
The only down side, for me, was the unnecessary use of bad language through the movie. I find it pointless to add 'f', 'b' and 'j' words into a sentance. This aside, it is a movie classic in the making, and well worth the 99p I paid for it :D
good film with one of the best BMW cars ever made featured in it. Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great film Great filmGreat film Great film Great film
