Description:
Danny Ocean likes his chances. All he asks is that his handpicked squad of 10 grifters and cons play the game like they have nothing to lose. If all goes right, the payoff will be a fat $150 million. Divided by 11. You do the math.

Amazon.com essential video:
Ocean's Eleven improves on 1960's Rat Pack original with supernova casting, a slickly updated plot, and Steven Soderbergh's graceful touch behind the camera. Soderbergh reportedly relished the opportunity 'to make a movie that has no desire except to give pleasure from beginning to end,' and he succeeds on those terms, blessed by the casting of George Clooney as Danny Ocean, the title role originated by Frank Sinatra. Fresh out of jail, Ocean masterminds a plot to steal $163 million from the seemingly impervious vault of Las Vegas's Bellagio casino, not just for the money but to win his ex-wife (Julia Roberts) back from the casino's ruthless owner (Andy Garcia). Soderbergh doesn't scrimp on the caper's comically intricate strategy, but he finds greater joy in assembling a stellar team (including Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, and Carl Reiner) and indulging their strengths as actors. The result is a film that's as smooth as a silk suit and just as stylish. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Fun Vegas crime caper
It's got charm, some good lines, a few good setpieces and gets away with its flaws. Good entertainment.
Rating: - Jackpot.
Slick, cool, stylish. Danny Ocean is going to rob three casinos in one night, all of which are owned by the same man. To do this he's gonna need a team, a team of the most lighthearted criminals on the planet. They'll need wits, they'll need brains, and they'll need a heck of allota character developement.
From director Steven soderbergh comes an extremely fun, if not rather confusing story about a bank heist, the likes of which you will prbably never see again.
For the sake of being honest and fair I think I'll start on the negative note. This film is sprinkled with some small problems, the largest of which is that the viewer has to stretch their mind like laffy taffy in order to understand the endings twist. The reason this flaw does not ruin the movie is because it doesn't really change the outcome, fortunately for anybody who doesn't want to hurt their minds just to understand the film.
One of the smaller flaws of the film is that it often relies on face-recognition in order to understand what is currently going on. A viewer might have t ask somebody "who is that again?" to understand a specific scene. All the negative parts of this movie revolve around lack of clarity, though this does not, in anyway ruin the movie, or make it completely incomprehensible.
Now for the good stuff. "Oceans 11" is filled to the brim with laughs, good acting, taste, style and.., well Vegas. The film dazzles the screen with lights, enough flash to catch the eye, enough ... Read More
Rating:  - BEST MOVIE EVER
This movie is probably one of my favorite ones, the condition was excellent and the plot and every character is flawless....I'm not a fan of Oceans 12, but Oceans 11 definitely got my attention :-)
Rating: - There is just something about this movie that doesn't work...
I will admit that the casting here is delicious (that applies, right?) and so my appetite was wet and my interest was peaked long before sitting in the theater. George Clooney, at the time, was one of my favorite actors (he's suffered from overexposure for me; 2005 did it for me) and you can't deny the charm and appeal of actors like Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and the undeniably brilliant Julia Roberts. Add to the mix funnyman Bernie Mac as well as brilliant actors like Andy Garcia and Don Cheadle, not to mention a slew of young actors like Casey Affleck (who would have ever thought he'd rise from this to become `Robert Ford'), Topher Grace and James Caan's son Scott and you have yourself guaranteed success; right?
I would think you, so sadly there is just something about this movie that doesn't work. I think the main issue is that when all is said and done `Ocean's Eleven' is just not that memorable. Sure, the cast is great and everyone does a superb job. Sure, the plot is decent and the dialog and funny, but in the end it all just kind of rests there, never `popping' so-to-speak. I just expected to be wowed and I truly wasn't.
It was kind of dull.
The plot revolves around Danny Ocean, recently released from prison, who bands together with his ten partners in crime to knock off three successful Las Vegas casinos. Sure, the money is a huge bonus, but the real reason for the caper is to win back Ocean's ex-wife Tess who is now attached to the owner of these ... Read More
Rating: - Fun not serious
It isn't a great work of art but a lot of fun to watch when you just want to relax and be entertained.
