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]

Generic heist movies with high-caliber casts are trendy this year (see The Score and Heist). And for sheer extravagance and superfluousness, Ocean’s Eleven tops them all.

Ocean’s Eleven seems as if it coasting by on reputation alone.

Suffice to say, Ocean's 11 is a safe bet on which you can place your chips on.

Fun, exciting, smart, and not too self-absorbed.

Takes a piece of '60s pop culture and effectively turns it into a piece of '00s pop culture.

Ocean's 11 was a sea of good times. (Okay I know that was corny...)

What does it matter if Soderbergh's a far better craftsman than Tony Scott and his ilk when he's lost his soul?

It can, at times, be forgettable in a fun way, especially when its funniest performers are caught in Soderbergh's spinning crosshairs.

The heist itself is sufficiently daunting that it’ll keep you watching long past the time when you’ve ceased to give a damn about the participants.

[Soderbergh] cleverly hews to the requirements of a thriller style and puts out a taut entertainment that doesn't disappoint.

With the stylish Soderbergh in the driver’s seat, this is a smart, elaborate heist film with a Rat Pack pedigree, some laughs and surprises along the way.

It’s merely OK, but it is completely watchable, and equally forgettable.

This one is proof that "big" movies can also be stylish and sophisticated while still being immensely entertaining.
