Le Marque helps them for two reasons: (1) Nightfox broke rule number one and there are consequences for that; (2) Brad Pitt can deliver his daughter ("I still think I am getting the better end of the bargain").
Why bring Julia Roberts into the mix? Remember that 'fox is watching everything that the 11 are doing (hence the quick shot of his video screen before we cut to Damon et al discussing a new plan). Fox has stolen the forgery the night before, and will have time and reason to realize his error unless they push as if they are desperate.
The best inside joke. Ben Snackwell comments on the Oscar to Willis. Damon has not even smelled an Oscar since GWH. Willis has never been close. Damon is complaining that it's been a while since he has been in contention for an Oscar. Willis is basically telling him to take a hike. I thought that was smart.
There should have been more about the heist itself and less about the actors and their inside jokes to make this a really really great movie. Instead it was just the best movie of the holiday season. I would have taken either.
