Notes

Story Synopsis:
Robert DeNiro stars as Nick Wells, a professional thief who has successfully eluded the law for 20 years by remaining extremely cautious. Finally ready to retire, Nick is committed to settling down with his stewardess girlfriend Diane (Bassett), and focusing on running his Montreal jazz club. But when his friend Max (Brando) offers him $4 million to retrieve a French scepter from the Montreal Customs House, Nick considers The Score one last time. Persuading Nick to violate two of his most important rules-always work alone and never operate in the city where you live-Max teams him up with Jack Teller (Norton), a young, aggressive and talented thief. Fixated on a prize worth millions, Jack has been working with the janitor at the Customs House under the guise of being mentally handicapped and has scoped out a plan to retrieve the scepter. But when Jack discovers that the scepter is going to be relocated sooner than they anticipated, the two opposites must find a way to work together in order to pull off the most daring heist of both of their careers.

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits sharp and detailed images with good contrast and shadow delineation. Colors are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. Edge enhancement contributes to a hard appearance, as do shimmering details and some pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack features remarkable fidelity, and tends to be of a rather quiescent nature, with reserved dimensional scope. A notable aspect of the production is that the dialogue was predominantly sourced from production, rather than from looping or ADR. As a result, voices sound particularly impressive, as far as integration with the visuals in concerned. The dialogue also seems very natural as well. Distribution of incidental and atmospheric sound effects are subtly distributed throughout the soundstage, yet the result is an effectively holosonic listening space. The music has been nicely recorded, and has a notably wide presence across the screen, with subtle spread into the surrounds. Deep bass, though tending to be subtle, is quite satisfying with the music, and there is very gentle .1 LFE activity throughout. This is a finely-produced soundtrack that offers a tasteful balance between subtlety and dimension. (Perry Sun)
