OCEAN'S ELEVEN ***_ / Caper Comedy / Dir: Steven Soderbergh George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon
Eleven guys undertake the biggest casino heist in Las Vegas history. A remake of the 1960s Rat Pack film, this version is even better. It is an improbable tale, combining elements of HOW TO STEAL A MILLION and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. But director Steven Soderbergh pulls it off beautifully, mixing just the right amounts of comedy and adventure. While there is plenty of high-tech stuff, (and a few explosions) they do not take over the picture. It's highly enjoyable. I want to see ELEVEN again.
