Ocean's Eleven (PG-13) 7.5

Ocean's Eleven (2001): Danny Ocean and his eleven accomplices plan to rob three Las Vegas casinos simultaneously. (7.7)

Director: Steven Soderbergh
Writers: George Clayton Johnson / Jack Golden Russell (1960 story)
Stars: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia

This is a star-studded remake of the 1960 original. Plan for the heist seems kind of shaky, but then again, this isn't a "how to" video; it is just a fun movie. Good dialog and the chemistry between the actors is the key to the flow of the movie. That said, they could have given Matt Damon and Julia Roberts a bit more lines. Most of the story deals with the gathering of the eleven and the planning for the heist. I wasn't quite sure if all eleven were needed but that's ok. Why is Don Cheadle speaking in a silly British accent, I'm not sure. Enjoyable movie. My Rating: 7.5
