The Score might not have "scored" at the box office, but the actors themselves stole the show in this less than ordinary heist.
Directed by Frank Oz his work was a step to the side, more or less, for him with such hit comedies as Bowfinger, In & Out, and What About Bob? Mind you, The Score is not a perfect movie. There are a couple of large holes in the plot, particularly some things that happen toward the end. But it's so much fun watching this cast work together that it really doesn't matter.

The title refers to a difficult task presented before thief Nick Wells (Robert De Niro) with a most profitable outcome. All that is going on with his successful Montreal jazz club and his stewardess girlfriend, Diane (Angela Bassett who doesn't get much screen time as I had hoped for), he could gain money for his participation in ripping off the U.S. Customs house to finally settle down in his new law abiding life.
