De Niro sleepwalks his way to a pay cheque in this dispiritingly lazy and boring heist movie. Finally comes to life in the last ten minutes by which time I had stopped caring. Watch "Nine Queens" for a clever and engaging heist thriller.
Nick Wells (De Niro) is an expert safecracker and master thief who has always lived by two rules: work alone and never do a job in your own city. He's about to betray both of them with the final and riskiest heist of his career. Nick's friend and financial partner, Max (Brando), has persuaded him to steal a priceless, antique sceptre locked behind the impenetrable walls of Montreal's Customs House. To do the job, Nick must join forces with Jackie (Norton), a cocky young thief with inside knowledge of the building - and a really bad attitude. Against his better judgement, Nick agrees to the partnership. Big mistake. They are a volatile combination: egos clash, tension mounts and the question of trust hangs precariously in the balance... Academy Award winners Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando team with Oscar nominee Edward Norton (Primal Fear, Fight Club) in the masterful crime thriller that will keep you transfixed and leave you reeling.
