"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."
This film is not high art, but it is pure entertainment. |
