The epitome of a cool heist flick

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2001)

From the start, this film boasts the big names that put it together (Soderbergh, Clooney, Pitt, Damon, ect.) and the audience is left praying that these folks will not dissapoint them. When the film has ended, the audience is left aghast at what a cool film they had all just seen. This film oozes cool. It has cool bursting out of the seems. The performers are great and the direction is amazing.
The story follows Clooney's character, just out of jail, recruiting 11 men to pull off the biggest heist ever. This may sound formulaic, but Soderbergh knows what he's doing and builds the film up perfectly. The audience is left waiting and anticipating the climactic heist sequence, and when it begins, the excitement is electrifying.
The supporting cast is fantastic, including Don Cheadle, Scott Caan, Casey Affleck, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, and Carl Reiner. Everyone know's his or her part and takes it to it's extent. The laugh's are packed into this film as well. The script is perfect and it knows how to space the comedy.
This film should not be missed by anyone, whether a fan of the heist genre, or a fan of any of the numerous actors, I promise it will not let you down.
