The Score (2001)
Great fun if you like a good crime/suspense/robbery type movie!
Overall this was a very enjoyable movie - well worth the price of admission. If you enjoyed "Heat" and "Sneakers", then I am sure you won't be disappointed with this film. The movie has an upbeat tone overall (I am sure largely due to Frank Oz, who has the widest spectrum of talents in the business!), mixed with plenty of classic nailbiting suspense. As I hoped, the cast was perfect for the movie. The story relied on a clever script, rather than the typical senseless violence that is common in many "blockbusters" these days. Have a fun night out and give "The Score" a try! (rating = 8)
George Washington (2000)
Most Overrated "underrated" movie of the year
I was finally able to watch this movie this afternoon after months of anticipating its arrival in my area. I had read the glowing reviews and eagerly ran to today's matinee. I couldn't have been more disappointed. I have a certain affection for slow paced movies as they give me such a feeling of peace as I watch. Many of the comments in this forum praised the film for its deliberate pace, which indeed was an attribute of this movie. However, the acting was so incredibly bad that it ruined the entire experience. I am totally shocked at the comments at this site praising these actors. Someone used the word improvisational. If that means unplanned or not thought out in advance then I will agree. For whatever reason, this film has managed to somehow mesmerize normally discerning movie goers into thinking that this is a gem... but this diamond in the rough is more like coal. I'd suggest that this director who has obvious potential spend more of his budget on acting on his next try. DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!!
