For the thrill. For the 'pay off'. For the Hell of it!

Rating: 7/10 (2 February 2002)

Expertly directed by one of the masters, Steven Soderbergh. Less a remake than an energetic adaptation of the 1960 Rat Pack story. A 'who's who' ensemble cast takes a clever story and turns it into real entertainment. Thrills, spills and witty humor paced with the trappings of Vegas. Fresh out of prison, Danny Ocean(George Clooney)gathers some very clever criminals to pull off the robbery of three casinos owned by the man squiring his ex-wife.

Clooney is solid as is Brad Pitt. Very notable is Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, Matt Damon and Bernie Mac. Also adding talent is Don Cheadle, Carl Reiner, Elliott Gould and Casey Affleck.
A very diverse and enjoyable soundtrack keeps pace with the action. Original music from David Holmes and cool sounds from the likes of Perry Como, Percy Faith, Quincy Jones and even a remixed obscure Elvis Presley tune.
A not so complex story with big name stars gives the audience what they want. This is really a fun one to watch.
