Fun, jouissive and very cool

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 2016)

Yesterday I decided to buy the Ocean trilogy regrouping Ocean's eleven, Ocean's twelve and Ocean's thirteen. I have already watched and enjoyed the first one a long time ago so when I saw it available for purchase on Google play for only $24,99, I didn't hesitate to buy the bundle.
I don't regret my purchase. I watched the first movie and I got hooked immediately. The script is not very deep. It's one of those stories about one guy, Danny Ocean, an ex con who just got out of prison on parole and who decides to get back the woman he always loved, Tess, in add of robbing the man she loves now, the very rich and ruthless owner of the three biggest casinos of Las Vegas. In order to do that, he assembled a very typical crew which we follow in the preparation and execution of this very risky job.
The main force of this movie is the cast which is very glamour and cool. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts and Andy Garcia among others are bringing their touch to the movie and it produces a lot of appeal. We could imagine their ego to take the best of them but actually the alchemy between them works as magic. They are funny, the movie is not violent at all and there are memorable lines throughout the movie.
Then you have Las Vegas and its ambiance of constant party, where money is pouring out everywhere in a very lavish style. As the main setting of the plot, Vegas is a character on its own and it's very beautiful to see especially at night.
The music is also very matching the general mood of the flick. It's jazzy and enjoyable to hear. It adds to the general feeling that Ocean's Eleven is a polished movie with a glamorous cast and an entertaining story.
Now it's time for me to go watch the second movie, Ocean's twelve, which should be as good as this very nice intro. I'm giving an A.
