critics consensus

Stone boasts a cast that includes Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, and Milla Jovovich, and it features strong dialogue, but it's ultimately undone by its heavy-handed symbolism and overabundant plot twists. Read critic reviews

I was disappointed by this one. I expected a lot when I saw who the cast was, but it fell short. It really had nothing to say.

Huge disappointment. From the trailer and the cast, I was expecting better. This film kind of reminded me of the film, Just Cause with Sean Connery. I thought De Niro and Norton were better in The Score. The pacing is off. It is too slow at times. The ending was also a let down.

A film that just didn't go anywhere or do anything for me. Sad to see Robert De Niro star in such a terrible film. Glad I didn't pay movie ticket prices. Left a lot to be desired. 2 1/2 stars.
