Pretty Good

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2007)

I enjoyed this movie. I didn't think it was as good as the remake of the original "Ocean's 11", with the late Frank Sinatra, but it was better than "Ocean's 12" in my book. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Elliott Gould, Bernie Mac, Carl Reiner, all reprise their roles in this one. One character is conspicuously absent, and I still haven't heard the reason why that person isn't in this one. I won't say who it is, but you probably know who I'm talking about... Anyway, it is good "fast food" entertainment, which is pretty much what I expected when I entered the theater to view this one. Don Cheadle is great as "Basher", with his Cockney accent. People say this is boring and predictable, but I went in with the idea that this was sensational stuff, which it is. It's purely there for entertainment, it doesn't put on airs that it's going to make you "scratch your head", or anything like that.
