See it

Rating: Null/10 (28 November 2001)

I also had the opportunity to see this at an advanced screening and I thought it was very good. I did not see "Out of Sight" or the original "Ocean's 11", but as far as current films go, I think this one is above average. It is a typical heist movie, similar in ways to "Snatch," but much less British and with slightly slower paced editing. The characters were not necessarily dynamic (you do not learn a whole lot about them), but the dialogue helped make them interesting and likeable and the idea of successfully robbing three casinos was intriguing enough to make you want them to succeed in the end. There were many funny moments and the humor was surprisingly witty (Casey Affleck and Scott Caan are hysterical). The music was fun, the mood was light and all of the choices Soderbergh made seemed to work to his advantage.
The audience that I saw this with seemed to be in agreement as there was much laughter throughout the film and even clapping and cheering at the end.
I would highly recommend this film to any and all of my friends.
