An Awesome Eleven

Rating: 9/10 (25 June 2007)

Magnifico!! Bravisimo!! This was a masterfully done movie; well thought out, well organized and well planned. I love it when a good plan comes together, and "Ocean's Eleven" was a good plan. So many movies of this type fail because of plot holes, bad directing, bad acting, or a host of other issues. "Ocean's Eleven" brought all parts together seamlessly and cohesively, which was amazing considering the grand scale of the theft that took place. Once again, this was a remake of an original I never saw, but it would be hard to believe that the original was much better, if it was better at all. All of the performances were good, which boded well because many star studded line ups tend to disappoint. "Ocean's Eleven" certainly didn't disappoint.
