Customer Reviews of Ocean's Eleven (Full Screen Edition)
Ring-a-ding-ding, baby! After directing gritty movies like "Traffic", "Erin Brockovich" and "Out of Sight", Steven Soderbergh decided to take it easy and create a movie whose sole purpose was to entertain. He's done exactly that with "Ocean's 11", an entertaining piece of fluff that mostly delivers.
George Clooney leads an all-star cast in this remake of the 1960 Rat Pack caper picture. Thief and ex-con Danny Ocean (Clooney) has recently been released from prison and is already planning his magnum opus: the theft of $150 million from a Las Vegas casino owned by Terry Benedict (a glowering Andy Garcia). But Danny can't pull it off alone, so he recruits his friend Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) and a motley group of shady characters, including Cockney demolitions expert "Basher" Tarr (Don Cheadle), con man Saul Bloom (a scene-stealing Carl Reiner) and light-fingered pickpocket Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon). The larcenous crew is rounded out by card sharp Frank Catton (Bernie Mac), money man Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), Chinese acrobat Yen (Shaobo Qin), and bickering drivers Turk Malloy and Virgil Malloy (the frequently hilarious Scott Caan and Casey Affleck). Complicating things (and fueling Danny's quest) is the fact that Benedict is involved with Danny's ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts).
"Ocean's 11" unfolds smoothly through the standard caper-movie set pieces: the setup, the heist and the getaway. There's lots of snappy patter, played very nicely by the talented cast, and fantastic music--I'd like to see Soderbergh's record collection. Clooney exudes movie-star charm and hipster cool in the role Sinatra originated as ringleader Ocean; it contrasts well with the smoldering Garcia. Cheadle is a hoot, if vastly under-used, but that's the problem with ensemble movies. Brad Pitt, in a standout role, manages to act rather than just coast on his good looks. Ocean and Ryan are a natural fit, like Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. I'd like to see their characters in another picture.
The only real stumbling block in my mind is the romantic triangle involving Danny, Tess and Terry. Roberts and Clooney just don't click. There simply are no sparks between them, as there were between, say, Clooney and Jennifer Lopez in the crackerjack "Out of Sight". This made it difficult for me to care about their fractured relationship, and whether or not they would ever make up. In fact, it was pretty much the only sour note in the movie, but it was a big one; it just felt tacked on (pretty much like Frank Sinatra's and Angie Dickinson's relationship in the original).
And so, to sum up this too-long review: "Ocean's 11" is not a classic like "The Sting", but it's pretty good nonetheless. My grade: B+.
Terrific Cast makes this film fun to watch.
A Professional Thief by the name of Danny Ocean (George Clooney), who just got release from Prison but he`s planning to do another crime with a foolproof plan, it`s never been done before. So Danny and his best friend (Brad Pitt) need nine different professionals (Oscar-Winner:Matt Damon, Bernie Mac, Elliot Gould, Carl Reiner, Casey Affleck, Scott Cann, Don Cheadle, Ediie Jemison & Shaobo Qin) to masterminding a Major Las Vegas Heist to pull it off. But Danny`s Plan is to Rob a ruthless Casino Mogal (Andy Garcia), who`s keeping company with Danny`s Ex-Wife (Oscar-Winner:Julia Roberts).
Directed by Oscar-Winner:Steven Soderbergh (Erin Brockovich, Full Frontal, Traffic) made a entertaining light comedy caper. This Cast is Terrific (Especially`s Reiner Role), this is in-name only of the 1960 movie of that the Original Rat Pack (Even Angie Dickinson & Herny Silva, who appear in the Original film, which they make a Cameo Apperences). DVD has a sharp anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer (also sharp in the Pan & Scan transfer) and a terrific Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has a Commentary Track by the Director and the Screenwriter. Another Commentary Track is by the Stars:Damon, Garcia and Pitt. DVD also has Documentaires, Theatrical Trailers and DVD-Rom Extras. This is Cleverly Written by Ted Griffin (Ravenous), which it has Plenty of Plot Twists & Surprises but at times-the film does have moments slow going. But it`s the skill of Soderbergh`s style & direction makes this film One of the Biggest Blockbusters Hits of 2001 a Winner. Topher Grace, Barry Watson, Brian Green Bush, Holly Marie Combs, Joshua Jackson & Producer:Jerry Weintraub appears in Cameos. Cheadle`s supporting role is Unbilled. Super 35. Grade:A-.
yet another example............
Hollywood has managed in this film to once again show
how really great it is to be a thief.....And they managed to use, in my estimation, the top worst to do it.
Clooney, who always portrays himself in no matter what role he takes...Pitt who walks thru his role like a zombie throwing in one liners to make it interesting???? And let's not forget the token female, Roberts, who I am still trying to figure out how she can be the most beautiful woman in the world, or is it one of the top five in the world? I forget......
The only redeeming thing about this film was the presence of Garcia and maybe the Las Vegas location. I have no plans to see the sequel as I am sure it will be more of the same humdrum
as this turkey was. To me it was just as boring as the original one only an updated version.
