OK heist flick

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2010)

While I have watched just about every heist movie ever made, I have to admit now that I am no longer a professional film reviewer that I was never crazy about the genre. There are exceptions of course, but in general, I get bored watching such films, as they all have similar plots. For those who got a kick out of OCEANS 11, I suspect this second sequel will tickle your fancy, if you can follow it. I watched it much too casually, and kept getting lost. For the record, Clooney and crew are on the vengeance trail against casino owner Pacino, who screwed over one of their own (Gould). I was quite happy to see veterans Bernie Mac and Carl Reiner still in on the action. Keep an eye on Damon in this one. For my money, he -- not Pacino -- steals the show.
