Viewing Notes

I think I saw part of this before, but not the entire movie since there were large portions of it I didn’t remember at all. A pretty enjoyable heist flick with a great performance by Norton. De Niro seems to have been relaxed and having fun with this role, which feels like him easing back into more comedic stuff in hindsight. Brando is pretty enjoyable in his limited role, but Bassett is just wasted talent here; she’s really given little to do unfortunately.
