Washington Post
The best heist flick since "The Usual Suspects," a perfect 10 of a movie. - 88
Chicago Tribune
It's a summit meeting between three brilliant leading men from three generations with three striking on-screen personas. - 83
Entertainment Weekly
A sturdily diverting old fashioned heist thriller that looks like a masterpiece of sheer competence next to the slovenly action fantasy F/X grab bags that have been passing for summer entertainment. - 80
L.A. Weekly
You begin to wonder whether a story is ever going to show up. When it does, it's worth the wait for a long and well-turned set piece coordinating the heist, and two lovely flips in the plot. - 80
Los Angeles Times
A top-drawer heist movie that ratchets up the tension inch by careful inch, The Score will remind you of classic caper films of the past, and that is a good thing. - 75
Miami Herald
If The Score isn't quite in the same league as the classic "Rififi" or even "Thief," its single-mindedness still makes for a refreshing change from the preposterous bloat of most contemporary action movies. - 70
New Times (L.A.)
Brando wanders through the movie as if he's tolerating an annoying guest, sweetly charming one minute, detached and obnoxious the next. - 60
