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 probably the best brochure for Las Vegas tourism since Robert Urich's Dan Tanna cruised the Strip in television's Vega$.

It's extremely confusing, but you quickly learn to ignore the details and just watch the glam cast have fun.

There is considerable pleasure to be had watching a Hollywood formula crowd-pleaser, no matter how irreverent, that's been made with intelligence, wit and style.

Brad Pitt turns in a performance of effortless charm, subtle and witty, completely in service to the character and the movie and yet completely movie star mesmerizing.

Soderbergh and Griffin work some new comic scenes into the story, though they lay the yuks on thickly.

Clooney's performance serves as a metaphor for the entire movie: It's not challenging, but it's mighty pleasant and easy to watch.

The cinematic version of a Happy Meal -- tasty and filling, not particularly nutritious, but generally pleasing for all.

The film drags a bit after the characters are introduced, but then the well-paced heist begins.

Leave it to the sublimely inventive Steven Soderbergh to do a remake the right way around -- starting from a mediocre movie...then setting out to make it better.

If you're looking for a cool caper, some hip, light-hearted fun and a good time at the movies, this is definitely your best bet.

Rarely has a film been as simultaneously pleasurable and as disappointing as Steven Soderbergh's version of Ocean's Eleven.

Made with so much wit and brains and dazzle and virtuosity that the sheer speed and cleverness of the caper hits you like a shot of pure oxygen.

So how is the actual movie? It's okay. It's not great, it's not bad...it's so-so.

Not only is it tedious and boring, just Brad Pitt and Andy Garcia shine in this heavily puffed up cast of all stars.

Jazzy and insouciant, if not quite what Frank would have called classy.

The story crackles, the stars pop, the dialogue zips, the music grooves.
