Improbable plot
Film is extremely lightweight
Julia Roberts' talents underused
The Bottom Line -
Even if you usually don't like heist movies, you'll probably
enjoy "Ocean's Eleven" (2001). This film is not high
art, but it is pure entertainment.
Product Description
DVD containing heist movie "Ocean's Eleven" (2001)
"Ocean's Eleven" (2001) DVD
Stylishly directed by Steven Soderbergh, the 2001 version of "Ocean's
Eleven" has an all-star cast. Danny Ocean (George Clooney), assisted
by his old buddy Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), assembles a team that consists
of eleven men, and they set out to rob three Las Vegas casinos (Bellagio,
MGM Grand, and Mirage). There's more than just money at stake for
Danny: he also tries to win back his ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts),
who has become the girlfriend of the owner of the three casinos. I
usually don't like heist movies, but I loved "Ocean's Eleven."
