Movie Haiku:Parts of this movie (filmed in Montreal) are gorgeous & De Niro, in particular, hasn't looked this good in years. But while the planning for "the great heist" is fun, the heist itself, with its inevitable double-crosses, is tedious & predictable. Norton's good, Brando's OK, & Bassett & Farmer are totally wasted.
