The perfect crime that brought Marlon Brando and Robert de Nero on the screen

In the 2001 Frank Oz movie, “The result”, Robert De Niro Nick, a safe master, plays a thief called Jack (Edward Norton) about a possible profitable theft. However, all this is suspicious of the jump, as Nick is usually recruited for freezing through his long -term fee and colleagues (Marlon Brando). Jack seems to want to control the situation, which Nick is not interested in. Like all the best theft films, “the result” is mostly procedural, explaining in detail how Nick and Jack plans to storm safe containing a valuable golden scepter. Instead, instead of breaking the treasury in a traditional way, Nick thinks about digging a hole in the top, filling it with water, then lowering a small bomb inside. The bombing will expand water and explode the door from the treasury. It is just physics.

Despite Brando and De Niro, Norton is the acting in the “result”. One of the things his personality to get rid of suspicions is to form as a mentally handicapped man with a speech. Jack settles inside and outside his personality easily, and one may think immediately Many speeches from “Tropic Thunder” About the nature fraught with participating in playing mentally handicapped. Norton proves that it is more than the effective influence, in the process of making the “result” One of his best films.

Unfortunately, Oz does not roll with these topics, and instead, it made a clear and direct movie that will happen for the heroism of some of the best actors of their generations. The “result” was exotic for the theft movie, which includes scenes from Nick and Max talking about the elderly and it will be good to be a quiet afternoon. It is a strong enough movie, but those who expect an intense confrontation between De Niro and Brando – not very disappointing.

Pictures of Brando elderly Vito Corlelion In the first movie “Godfather”, while De niro played a young man in the memories of the past in “The Godfather Part II”. One may expect Oz to organize actors as competitors, allowing them to threaten each other and restore their godfather to violence. In “the result”, although the husband does not play violent men. In fact, their characters are more than willing to leave their past behind them and retire safely. There is a nice ability between De niro and Brando I think many of the prevailing fans did not expect.

“The result”, more than anything else, is exposed on behalf of its three threads, and they all benefit well. However, Oz did not create a great deal of complexity of the character, and the script book did not disturb the film (Daniel E There is nothing amazing about the “result”. Everything is less than saying. It was also proven that Brando’s final performance was on the screen before his death in 2004.
