Robert De Niro is a career thief who, against his better
judgement, joins forces with a young accomplice (Edward Norton) in order to pull one last
and nearly impossible job. The unlikely alliance is arranged by Nick's longtime friend and
fence (Marlon Brando), and it has unpredictable results. Also with Angela Bassett and
Jamie Harrold. [2:00]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A man and woman are shown kissing and fondling each other
while they moan; they lie on a sofa and we see the woman's leg up to the thigh and see the
man briefly moving on top of her. There are a few scenes where a man and woman kiss
passionately: we see the couple in bathrobes in one scene, presumably after having had
sex, and there are a few more romantic kisses. We see a woman in a cleavage-revealing
evening gown and a man removes his shirt exposing his chest.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A man shoves another man's head into a counter and hits
him with a bat (we see his bloody nose). A man takes another man down with several blows
from a bat (we hear him coughing in the background). A man shoots a gun at the floor near
a man's feet and over his head. A group of security guards chase a man through access
tunnels, with guns drawn and alarms blaring. A man threatens a man with a gun, the man
threatens back with a gun of his own, a man is shoved into some metal fencing and is
threatened with a gun, a man holds a gun on another man, and a man grabs a woman from
behind covering her mouth. A man cuts through some metal grating and the top of a metal
safe (using a torch) sending sparks flying everywhere, a safe is blown up and the door
crashes into a security cage wall. There are several tense scenes during the planning of a
robbery, the casing of the facility and the actual robbery. A man nearly kicks a security
camera, a man dangles from a ceiling for a long time, a man talks about a woman having
died, a woman talks about a man having been killed, and a man talks about another man
wanting to kill him.
