Good but...

Rating: 7/10 (7 December 2001)

George Clooney, in his suave, low-keyed voice, is the persona of cool in Ocean's Eleven. The funny scene with Matt Damon and Bernie Mac (along with Andy Garcia) is very good, but Clooney along with Brad Pitt make Ocean's Eleven an enjoyable ride, albeit slightly slower than expected. Don Cheadle's cockney accent is very good, and Carl Reiner shows why his form of comedy will be around for a long time.
Wasted in this movie is Julia Roberts, as the ex-wife/girlfriend/pawn. Although her interaction with Clooney via lines and lines of snappy repartee is done well, she doesn't have much else to do but look good and make Garcia and Clooney jealous of each other.
