Elliot Gould is great !

Rating: Null/10 (30 September 2003)

Love this movie. Love the cast. Great performences especially from Elliot Gould, Brad Pitt (proving again he can actually act, and isnt just a pretty face), George Clooney and Matt Damon.
I`ve seen the original also, but think the remake just tops it. One thing I am curious about tho is Don Cheadle's character? Why did he have a cockney accent? If he was uncredited, due to other work commitments at the time, they should have got a real British actor to play the part with a cockney accent.
Nevertheless, Cheadle's attempt at a cockney accent is good in parts, but he does slip every now and then.
I would recommened this movie. It's very entertaining, and the score is good too... I like DeBussy's Claire De Lune, which is played when they are all looking at the dancing fountains after successfully completing their heist.

Also, see the original too. Frank Sinatra's Danny Ocean is great also, but Clooney's just as that extra kick.
8/10.
