Director: Steven Soderbergh Writer: Ted Griffin Music by: David Holmes Producer: Jerry Weintraub Keywords: Crime/Comedy, Las Vegas, Heist, Explosions Modern Hollywood remake of the Rat Pack's Ocean's Eleven (1960). Danny Ocean, now out of jail, gathers together a team of 11 to simultaneously heist the $160M take of Terry Benedict's three casinos.

Nothing terribly original, but decent entertainment.

REVIEWS Review by Michael Lesch (posted on 17-Jul-2009) Slick and entertaining film that's packed with energetic players and wonderful direction courtesy of Steven Soderburgh. George Clooney and Brad Pitt lead a very likable and humorous crew on a what's perceived as an impossible heist from a Las Vegas casino have security which on a par with Fort Knox. The team assembled is certainly shady given their tarnished backgrounds (accomplished via impressive flashback clips and clever montage sequences which are informative as they are entertaining) and couldn't have less in common personality-wise yet collectively gel into a well-oiled machine which convince you their mission could actually be attainable. Even with the given skeletons present in their respective pasts you still find yourself rooting for these 'bad' guys. Andy Garcia is great as the stooge and ultimate fall guy who gets a deserved comeupance and the added tension of Clooney's team attempting to pull off the caper with unexpected hurdles makes the confusion and chaos a more than welcomed plot entanglement. Great shots of Vegas throughout -- especially the night sequences - and Julia Roberts is very graceful as the independent gal caught in between two demanding men.
