Was surprised at how good it was! A MUST SEE!
Great movie! The previews or critics for that matter, cannot do it justice. When it first came out I went "naaaah"...but then one day decided to rent it. An entertaining film that keeps you on the edge of your seat with suspense, laughter, and fun. Plenty of action to boot, and with all these great actors cast carefully and purposefully in their respected roles, how could you go wrong?

A rag-tag group of con artists and ex-cons team up for the heist to end all heists in this high-profile remake of the 1960 Rat Pack favorite. As with its predecessor, Ocean's Eleven opens with its titular hero Danny Ocean (George Clooney stepping into the Frank Sinatra role) eager for a new challenge. The similarities to the original end there, as Ocean conspires with his old pal Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) to rob 150 million dollars from an underground vault that serves three of Las Vegas' biggest casinos.

Between the two of them, they recruit nine other men, each with his own criminal specialty, to assist in the mission: moneyman Reuben Tishkoff (Elliot Gould), card dealer Frank (Bernie Mac), pickpocket Linus (Matt Damon), aging con artist Saul (Carl Reiner), British explosives pro Basher (Don Cheadle), techie Dell (Eddie Jemison), rude-boy brothers Virgil (Casey Affleck) and Turk (Scott Caan), and professional acrobat Yen (Shaobo Qin). What Ocean doesn't tell the group is that there's another reason he's coordinating the heist: the three casinos they're robbing are all owned by ruthless gambling mogul Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), who just happens to be married to Ocean's former love Tess (Julia Roberts).

What Happens in Vegas...
Back in 1960, OCEAN'S ELEVEN received its first journey to the Big Screen. Although it was a good film, it ironically ended up as a more serious piece, undermining some of the expectations that surrounded a film featuring the original RAT PACK (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop).

Fast forward to 2001 and OCEAN'S ELEVEN receives its second journey to the big screen. And this one has all the suave, sophistication and fun that was missed in the earlier effort, even without the surefire clump casting.

The main through line is intact, Danny Ocean putting together a team to rob several Las Vegas Casinos. Director Stephen Soderbergh (Traffic, Out of Sight) does a great job of expanding the film off of that premise, filling the screen with fun, glamour and excitement from the opening credits.

The casting is great and almost succeeds, like the original Oceans Eleven in casting for celebrity more than for the role. You laugh BECAUSE it is George Clooney, or Brad Pitt... And you love her because she's Julia Roberts. This is normally a weakness in films for me, but here it plays like a wink to the audience and is charming.

Bernie Mac, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Don Cheadle, Andy Garcia, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Carl Reiner and Elliot Gould are just some of the cast.

Enjoy Oceans Eleven, it is truly a great way to waste 2 hours.
