Great movie, except for the ending

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2002)

I loved this remake of the casino heist story. It has an incredible all-star cast that performed brilliantly in their respective roles. The music is also exciting as it lacks almost any vocal parts. Its just a lot of instrumental pieces that really propel the movie to another level of excitement. Watching the thieves plan and carry out the robbery was captivating. This movie never had a dull moment, the action and the fun kept coming. Garcia is great as the owner of the casinos and plays his role so well that you come away cheering the group to rob him of all he's got. I came really close to letting the ending ruin the whole movie for me. It wasn't necessary, and I felt the scene just before the last would have been a perfect ending for the movie. Oh well, the 2001 version of "Ocean's 11" is a great movie that I could watch over and over again.
