so boring. so vapid. so dull. don't believe the hype.

Rating: 2/10 (6 August 2005)

I really don't know what people see in this film.
The concept is quite exciting, the idea of robbing casinos and all coupled with a big name cast led me to expect something entertaining. I really was expecting to enjoy the movie.
However, I found it mind-crushingly dull. The film really drags, and I found the whole thing entirely prosaic. Whilst production was slick (as is to be expected) it felt formulaic and sanitised, as did the plot.
It was so boring, the ingredients for a good film were there, but the plot just trudged along towards its inevitable conclusion, I never engaged with any of the characters, and ultimately Ocean's 11 seems like the kind of film a computer would make given a stack of statistical data on what joe average likes to see at the movies.
I really like action films too, but as far as I am concerned this doesn't even count.
