Con man Danny Ocean (George Clooney) has just been released from a four-year jail term and decides that his first order of business is robbing three Las Vegas casinos owned by the slimy Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia). To pull off this nearly impossible task, he quickly assembles an eclectic crew--including a card shark (Brad Pitt), a pickpocket (Matt Damon), an explosives expert (Don Cheadle), and an aging gambler (Carl Reiner)--and seeks financial backing from a freewheeling casino mogul (Elliott Gould) who holds a grudge against Benedict. However, it soon becomes apparent that Ocean has more at stake than money and his newly found freedom--his ex-wife, Tess (Julia Roberts), just happens to be Benedict's new girlfriend. Can Ocean steal back Tess's heart and more than a hundred million dollars at the same time? Continuing an impressive streak of films that began with OUT OF SIGHT and THE LIMEY and exploded into even wider acclaim and popularity with ERIN BROCKOVICH and TRAFFIC, Steven Soderbergh helms this star-studded caper flick with a strong sense of style and humor. Clooney and Pitt, in particular, have a great rapport and both exude a suave, laid-back charm. Damon, Cheadle, Gould, and Reiner all provide excellent comic turns, while Garcia gives an appropriately sinister performance. The whole glittery package is topped off by David Holmes' engaging score, which ties together the sounds and moods of Hollywood past and present. [More]

Vegas heist flick with style, charm and an ensemble cast of the coolest cats in town makes it safe for grown-ups to enter the theater again.

This isn't by any mean an 'important' film. Heck, it doesn't even try to be. What this is is slick. S-L-I-C-K.

Ocean's Eleven forsakes moral complexity and simple heist-movie excitement.

It's clear that Soderbergh knows this is a movie about two things: star power and plot twists

If you've seen other heist/con movies, you won't find new twists or surprises here, and you'll have little other reason to see Ocean's Eleven than to go star-gazing.

Soderbergh and Griffin understand the best part of a heist movie is watching the intricacies of the heist as it goes down.

It rarely shows you anything you haven’t seen in comparable pictures, and has no layer of depth to its coolness

Steven Soderbergh is wasting his talent making fluff this inconsequential.

It's a giant ice-cream cake of a movie that tickles the pleasure centers of your brain--restoring the good name of large-scale, old-fashioned Hollywood entertainment.

It doesn’t take itself too seriously like some of its brooding, maudlin peers.

...a slick, slight, breezy affair that's easy to take if it's not taken too seriously.

The action is tight and the comedy is loose, and the result is a sharp, giddy blast.
