9/10
"En efecto, se trata de una larga colección de clichés del género, pero el resultado es agradable y los dos estelares llenan la pantalla..."  Cinenganos  Alex Ramirez

4.5/5
"The Score manages to pull off a feat seen so rarely in cinema today: It makes you forget you're watching a movie."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

1.5/4
"With the talent involved, "The Score" promises to be a worthy caper flick. Instead, it robs viewers of two hours and the cost of a ticket."  Lawrence Journal-World  Dan Lybarger

B
"An old-fashioned heist movie."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2/4
"A missed opportunity, one that will undoubtedly go down as little more than a footnote in these fine performers' respective careers."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

B
"Once the heist swings into action, every moment is enthralling."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

B
"A good heist movie, flawed but thoroughly competent, with an amazing cast and precise, almost Mametian dialogue."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

C
"Let down by a tepid script, plodding direction and--amazingly, in view of the talent involved--indifferent acting; this isn't a winning 'Score.'"  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2.5/4
"As heist movies go, this one is on the low side of mediocre."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/4
"a solid piece of old-fashioned genre work starring a brilliantly assembled cast of heavyweight American actors"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

"Decent and generally enjoyable but ultimately nothing overly special."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

6/10
"Mostly just went gaga over the three generations of extremely talented and 'method' actors appearing on the screen at the same time."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

3/5
"Part of the fun is watching and listening to Brando parody his slurred speech and create yet another character that looks and sounds like—Marlon Brando."  ToxicUniverse.com  John A. Nesbit

7/10
"...all things considered, The Score scores."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

""The Score" plays like a classic heist film with modern sensibilities, a high-tech thriller with a great cast and genuinely engaging direction."  Light Views  John Larsen

"Offers little more than a strange combination of heist-flick clichés and cop-flick clichés."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

2.5/4
"Si se pudiera describir el resultado final con una sola palabra, ésta sería la de decepcionante."  Moviola  Jorge Avila Andrade

5/5
"Touchdown"  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

3/4
"When all is said and done, the only reason this movie rises above a certain level is because at one point Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, and Edward Norton share the screen."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

3/4
"In a season of CG effects and thespians, the film's old-fashioned feel is not only refreshing but feels downright innovative."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

3.5/5
"Opens and closes with tour-de-force action, acting, and camera work. In the middle is some dead space."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

3/5
"The story might not have much that's new, but it is still fun to see a thief look at an intimidating new safe utterly undaunted."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

4/5
"Apesar de suas qualidades, A Cartada Final certamente ficou nos devendo o tão prometido duelo de interpretações."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

4/5
"The Score, a competent if nothing-special heist thriller on paper, showcases three generations of acting giants."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

2/4
"'The Score' is a caper movie featuring big-time talent hampered by a drowsy story line."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

7/10
"DeNiro and Norton score while Brando simply sweats."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

"The patient and meticulous Oz discards the camera tricks and MTV-style quick cuts that allow directors like Dominic Sena and Simon West to have careers, relying solely on a well-thought-out script."  Eclipse Magazine  Sean O'Connell

2/4
"A workmanlike film that is technically fine and emotionally vacant."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

3.5/4
"A heist film with several issues, but ultimately enjoyable."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell
