Very Good Flick

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2007)

I did not see Ocean's Eleven or Twelve. I had no intentions of seeing this film in the first place, but my friends wanted to last night, so I went along with them and was pleasantly surprised. Basically, the movie is about a Las Vegas hotshot, Willie Bank, who is going to open a casino. Danny Ocean and his conspirators disliked Bank in the first place, and when Bank cut out his partner, Reuben, Ocean's crew decided to make a revenge strike on Bank's new, self-named casino. The acting was very good. George Clooney and Brad Pitt did a very nice job as the main protagonists. I thought that some of the editing and camera-work was a little goofy (comedic facial close-ups were used a trifle too much), but hey, the movie was funny. Being that this was my first time seeing an Ocean's film, I was a little confused, but I was able to figure out the general gist, and seeing it again earlier today helped out a lot. I would recommend this film to all viewers.
