2 major issues away from a 10

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2020)

The film had almost everything . A great plot , witty dialogue , an energetic soundtrack and an unbelievable cast (yes despite Ross' dad). All contributing to an edge of your seat experience .
However (spoilers alert) the ending was a major sticking point and contributed to 1.5 of my reduction ,the other 0.5 reduction coming from Don Cheadles terrible Cockney accent. The planning of Ocean and Rusty was so meticulous and intelligent , it makes it very hard to believe that they would take the risk to have Rusty ,who was on the phone to Benedict inside the same robbed Casino, also bumping into Oceana ex-wife (on CCTV) , then go and pick up Ocean from prison with no other than , yes you guessed it , Ocean's ex-wife Tess. And believe it or not they are followed, huge shock.
Perhaps this was all one big ploy for a nailed on plot of the second film but I was left thinking it was a great shame , this could have been one of my all time favourites if it hadn't been for a lazy (deliberate or not) ending .However all in all I was left thoroughly entertained , and not many films leave me wanting to write a review .Heck ! maybe that was all one big con to get more people talking about the ending .
Controversy sells after all .
