If you like slick, cool, sophisticated, well acted entertainment - well Ocean's Eleven is the film for you!
This is not just one of those films with big Hollywood star names who are just there to ensure box office success, the well balanced acting skills and obvious on-screen bonding between the likes of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts and the superb Elliot Gould make Ocean's Eleven an absolute pleasure to watch.
The plot revolves around con man & thief, Danny Ocean (a cool Clooney), and his audacious attempt to rob the vault of the three biggest casinos in Las Vegas, all owned by Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) - a stunt only attempted by fools before! He enlists the help of fellow con man Rusty (excellently played by Pitt) and together they recruit a team of the most flamboyant and down right weird criminals to pull off the job.
What sets Ocean's Eleven apart from other 'heist' movies is a well written script, full of little in-jokes and 'off the cuff' remarks that the cast get spot on. Also, the plot goes in so many directions and comes together without a floor - very slick! Steven Soderbergh is on top directorial form.
The film is quite simply smooth!
