..an old fart watching youngsters' films...

Rating: 4/10 (3 May 2006)

....again, pages and pages of absolutely banal comments. Know what? I enjoyed watching the film, but enjoyed reading the commentaries more !! ...and I didn't see the original, so can't comment on that.....but, I've performed in shows in Vegas and am fairly familiar with the security-systems they use. This film was like a "kiddies" version of "Casino".
ALL of the cast were believable and each showed good acting, with the simple script they were given - what a picnic for Matt !! He could've done this role asleep. THAT was Elliott Gould ???? If that's the actor I'm thinking of, he had the best role in the whole film. The handsome George Clooney was the handsome George Clooney, as always.....no acting involved. Brad Pitt promised a good role in the beginning, but what did he have to work with? Julia Roberts was a waste, but isn't she usually? The rest of the actors did their jobs well and provided an old fart with good entertainment for an evening, as most posters commented. I'm still trying to understand all that high-tech stuff.....
