Watchable, but not much more

Rating: 6/10 (12 May 2002)

Oceans 11 is one of those movies which are becoming so common these days. It's "nudge-nudge, wink, wink" dialogue informs you early on that this is a thriller which will not thrill - where the characters never really seem in any danger. So then all that matters is how well it's all done. Fortunately, it's well directed and the actors play themselves (mostly). So on a very basic level it delivers. It's a decnt rental, nothing more.
