A fairly good heist movie with 3 outstanding mega stars in Robert De Niro, Marlon Brando & Edward Norton. It really is the generation game with 3 different generations represented. De Niro & Norton are on top form and it's good to see them going back and forth. Marlon Brando is fine but it's clear to see he is being his usual awkward self as he spends most of the movie sitting down in large robes, it's obvious he was just doing his own thing with little effort or requirement. The biggest failure in the movie is Angela Bassett. It's hard to see why she took such a nothing role other than to work with the talent on show. Her character is reduced to 3 or 4 scenes with absolutely nothing to do. The ending is ok but seeing De Niro walk off into the sunset with Bassett doesn't feel earn as there has been hardly any development between the 2 characters to make us care. A solid heist movie which should have been a great one with the talent it had.
