A fun caper from Steven Soderbergh

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2004)

This is my first Steven Soderbergh film, and from judging by this, I'd say he's a pretty good filmmaker. The cast for this movie is wonderful: you've got the coolest actor in Hollywood George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Elliot Gould, Carl Reiner and Don Cheadle, among others. They are all wonderful in their roles. The script is snappy, slick, and very good dialogue. I love the speech to George Clooney gives to Brad Pitt, who then asks, "You've been practicing this speech, haven't you?". Also, the heist itself is brilliant. These guys, as Elliot Gould's character puts it, are nuts. But they pull it off. Overall, 'Ocean's Eleven' is a fun, entertaining, and just slick caper movie. I give it a 10/10.
