Pure Fun

Rating: 9/10 (10 December 2001)

I will keep my review of this film simple: it was pure fun. Soderbergh as usual is absolutely amazing in his direction of the actors and his camera work and editing. The A-list cast proves how good of a director he is here in a fun movie that never takes itself too seriously. The dialog is quick and witty and George Clooney and Brad Pitt prove yet again (but for the first time together) that they are the two coolest men on the planet. The story here is not the best, but it is a heist movie and a remake of a movie that had it not been for the rat pack's present would have been delegated to B-movie status. This movie is a huge improvement upon the original, and all of the principal actors in this piece (that would be 13 if you're counting) have their moment to shine. If you want to go to a movie and have some fun go see Ocean's Eleven, the most entertaining movie of the year.
