“The Score” (** out of four) was an originally done but middling musical underworld melodrama (!) about two small-time crooks (Will Poulter and Johnny Flynn) who drive to a cafe for a big heist but start to have second thoughts and ruminations about the paths they are on in life (and break out into song and dance over this). Give writer/director Malaychi Smith credit for attempting to do something daring and different but results never rise above mediocrity. Musical numbers are mostly superfluous and don’t add much to film but then again without them- film would likely be a standard genre story. No relation to the (far superior) 2001 De Niro/Brando/Norton thriller of the same name.
