This movie is clever with acceptable cinematography. Everything is done well. I just found it boring. Probably just me. I'd still recommend it if you like heist movies.

Steven Soderbergh's remake of 'Ocean's Eleven' is an action filled heist film about a criminal, Danny Ocean (George Clooney), who was just released from jail and close friend, Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), who gather nine other men and plan to rob 150 million dollars from three different Las Vegas casinos. It is a fast-paced, clever film that is so entertaining, it has you rooting for the thieves. It is full of a great cast including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts and many more. There are a lot of key characters but each ones important qualities to the job allow them all to come together nicely. It was shot very well with many of the scenes in low lit, dark rooms to show the privacy among the group and the conversations of the heist. In contrast, the casino is full of bright neon lights and gold decor to show it's extravagance and wealth. There is a constant theme of conflict and suspense that can be seen from small mistakes made throughout the heist, the relationship between Danny and Terry (casino owner), and Danny trying to win back his ex-wife. Overall, It is a good mix of comedy and suspense that always has you watching till the end.

Clooney and company are a joy to watch, their gleeful chemistry almost oozing from the screen, and where the film takes inspiration from seminal works like 'The Sting (1973)' is in its frequent desire to bait-and-switch the audience, to keep them in the dark and gleefully surprise them at every turn. It's this aspect and this fun approach to 'Ocean's Eleven (2001)' that makes watching the film so entertaining, like an untaxing puzzle to be unravelled as it goes along, and its easy-going attitude makes for a laid-back watch with some twists to keep you on your toes and great character writing to keep a smile on your face. 7/10

This movie game me a blast when i first saw it with my parents. But i was young and couldn't comprehend as much. The acting is impeccable, character development is excellent. The heist planning has an attention to detail that you don't normally see explained as thorough in movies. I have analyzez the heist, to see if there are any loop holes that i cannot explain, but i can't find any (other than the "pinch" is kind of fictional). Every character has a different personality and even if you think due to the large cast of actors it's going to be hard to present them all, then you will be pleasantly surprised that by the end you will be able to differentiate all of them. Dialogue is handled gracefully and further accentuates the marvel of the plot. Visuals are so good, direction is top-notch. The director makes you see only what you have to at each scene. It leaves you think about the others. The ending is unbelievable, you won't realize what you saw, how everything was executed so perfectly and your head will trying trying to wrap your head around how all of this worked. There's a positive vibe thoughout and this movie can be enjoyed with a partner or with the entire family. Overall beautiful film. The only thing i didn't like about the plot was the inclusion of Julia Roberts, as Clooney's love interest. I believe her character had more than enough screen time than necessary and wasn't that important for the story, but anyway i can neglect that. Rating: 10/10 - Masterpiece - Best heist movie I have ever seen.
