Terrific Fun

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2001)

I read the "lifeless disappointment" review of this film and I couldn't disagree more. Admittedly, I was surprised that a director as good as Soderbergh wanted to do a remake of a simple heist film, but this film is absolutely brimming with fun. It's a great piece of entertainment that is paced exceptionally well. The chemistry between the characters is amazing. Reviewers will love Clooney and Roberts together, but my personal favorite pairing was Clooney and Pitt. They were marvelous. And clearly, Soderbergh let his actors take the parts and run with them. Great direction and cinematography, great dialogue, and an absolute joy to watch.
