Brilliant remake

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2007)

Ocean's Eleven is one of the best remakes ever made. Soderbergh doesn't do one thing wrong in this all spectacular con-movie, the way he sets Las Vegas in flames with great music and great camera-sliding is truly classy. The cast is all amazing, every one from George Clooney to Don Cheadle and Brad Pitt to Bernie Mac and back again. And although Ocean's Eleven doesn't do any surprising jumps or turns, it always stays true to it's message and meaning; entertaining you to the last second. Andy Garcia's super-serious Terry Benedict keeps a firm maturity to a story even a kid could understand, and the Clooney/Pitt cooperation works like childhood buddies just having another laugh robbing millions from three of Las Vegas' most impressive casinos. It's a movie that can truly change the mood of your day, as its bright and jaunty tone will keep you wanting more and more of Ocean's striking eleven.
