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]

Ocean's Eleven is a merry romp that delivers laughs in aces and boasts a full house of marquee talent.

How much fun it is could depend on two factors -- which sex you like to look at, and as the movie progresses, how much you liked or disliked Mission: Impossible.

The new Ocean's Eleven is altogether different -- it isn't content to let star power, shtick and easy camaraderie carry the day; it works for your money.

To be sure, Soderbergh has proved his entertaining point, and done the Rat Pack one better, converting a paltry failure into a paltry success. But just how cool is that?

Admittedly, little of Ocean's Eleven is likely to hang around in your head past closing time. But that only gives you a good excuse to see it again.

Despite all the names, though, the real star here may be Ted Griffin's quippy script, which the cast seems to relish reading.

I think it's time for Soderbergh to be leaving Las Vegas.

It didn't shake me up and I wasn't much involved, but I liked it as a five-finger exercise.

So beautifully watchable and enjoyable that you'll happily inhale its jazzy, madcap ether.

The man who helped spark the indie revolution is now making pictures that bow and scrape before the most depleted Hollywood conventions.

A brand-new ride, complete with humor, action, explosives, good-looking men in tuxedos and high-tech toys.

One of those rare movies in which it doesn't feel as though the cast's fun is being had at the viewer's expense.
