Better Improvement

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2007)

I think overall this film was a major improvement than the sequel. Steven Soderbergh seemed to hit all the right notes and managed to get the chemistry between all the actors flowing.
The film does however leave you to wonder why they didn't do this for the second one, this film has everything from glamour to glitz and showboating about everything. George Clooney and Brad Pitt's chemistry as Rusty and Danny is immense. These two actors for me could pull of any slick comedy.
I think the only down side to this film is that it was paying homage to the 50's and 60's by using some classic tunes, so i felt that it wasn't trying to be anything new but try and copy the original Ocean's 11.
But I think overall it is a superb film which gets better throughout the film, but this is where I think the buck stops, I can't see any more Ocean's, but however I would like to see more of Brad Pitt and George Clooney doing some slick comedy films because that's where I think they could pull of something big.
I think anyone that see's it will either hate it or love it, but for me it was a major improvement from the sequel. Oh yeah! Al Pacino, I thought wasn't given a big baddie role that I had hoped, but he was really interesting to watch and admire his presence. Elliot Gould and Carl Reiner were also brilliant.
Worth Watching.
