Not bad but...

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 2002)

Overall, I rate this movie as quite good. But no more. It seemed to lack a bit of sparkle in the female department. I mean, where were they? Glamour could have figured a bit more, couldn't it? If 'Gone in 60 Seconds' can have Angelina Jolie, couldn't we have had one or two women in the 'gang'? I liked the cast, but if this movie had been made 30 years ago, the likes of Newman and McQueen would have insisted on a greater female presence, I'm sure. And the soundtrack. Where was it? It needed an injection of music and glitz to really get it going. Apart from these side issues, I enjoyed it, but couldn't help feeling that it could have been so much more, with the ingredients on show. The highlight had to be the 'outtake', if that's what it was originally, between Clooney and Pitt. I'd like to think that it was an ad-lib which they left in. Hopefully, they'll team up again, with a few more glamorous women. Sorry, Julia, but you're not in my top 20!
