As we live and breathe, Steven Soderbergh is making the best kid-stuff for adults since Howard Hawks put Cary Grant in a sombrero. It's no small achievement.

5/5

Soderbergh plots and pulls off the gold standard for the modern heist movie, and does it via a film that doesn't have a mean-spirited bone in its body.

2.5/4

Ocean’s Eleven maintains the appropriate swagger and air of cool collectedness, but it’s hard to be impressed with its suavity as it bungles its own caper trail.

So. The Rat Pack were ... basically Guy Ritchie sort of schtick. A bit different. Honestly, once in a blue moon, G.R. is fairly funny. This... is an unusual tone, quite bland.

This movie is amazing. The whole casting is insane with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, etc. And the movie concept uses one of the best movie plot lines. A robbery that is statistically not going to work, so some guy puts together a team to complete the heist. And the way they did it, the reveal at the end was awesome. I love a good reveal, whether it is a killer reveal, plan reveal, any reveal. The problem with the plot, is it is very easy to screw up. But they 100% made this a movie that works. Very deserving of the rating it has, and honestly it should be higher. I don’t think there is one thing that could make this better than it is right now. I will definitely be recommending this to everyone that I meet. 5 OUT OF 5 STARS!!!

Ocean’s Eleven is an excellent heist movie and one of the best modern examples of movie-star chemistry carrying a film. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Elliott Gould, Carl Reiner, and the rest of the ensemble all fit together effortlessly. The movie feels cool because the cast never seems to be trying too hard. Steven Soderbergh gives the film a slick, playful rhythm, using sharp editing, music, split screens, Vegas atmosphere, and smooth camera work to make the heist feel stylish without becoming too self-serious. The plan is clever and clean, explaining enough to keep the audience engaged while still saving surprises for the reveal. Andy Garcia gives Terry Benedict sophistication, control, and quiet menace, making him a target who feels worth robbing and dangerous to cross. Ocean’s Eleven is polished, confident, and consistently entertaining.
