A laid-back, bait-and-switch filled fair-ride.

Rating: 7/10 (21 February 2018)

Clooney and company are a joy to watch, their gleeful chemistry almost oozing from the screen, and where the film takes inspiration from seminal works like 'The Sting (1973)' is in its frequent desire to bait-and-switch the audience, to keep them in the dark and gleefully surprise them at every turn. It's this aspect and this fun approach to 'Ocean's Eleven (2001)' that makes watching the film so entertaining, like an untaxing puzzle to be unravelled as it goes along, and its easy-going attitude makes for a laid-back watch with some twists to keep you on your toes and great character writing to keep a smile on your face. 7/10
