Just No Cool

Rating: 7/10 (9 December 2001)

The closest thing to cool about this film is Brad Pitt. That was a mistake, George Clooney should have been the cool one. The music is cool (way cool) but it just doesn't make up for the cool that should be emanating from the screen. Brad Pitt's clothes are cool (and He plays a role that's really beyond his years). To be fair, the second half of the film picks up some steam and Soderbergh has some great moments towards the end of the film (and Thank God he didn't carry on the actual end of the film beyond its natural conclusion - too much, as has been the case lately in Hollywood). Overall, though no one can replace the rat pack, it's still decent. 7/10.
