The Worst Film Ever
the audience applauded
Best movie ever!
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
There is not much to say here, no depth, no point, just a bunch of well-known actors in a very fun casino robbery.8/10
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.
The way they pulled off the heist was superb. They tricked everyone into thinking they were currently doing it, but they had done it a couple days before without anyone noticing. They tricked and picked people with ease and the plan they came up with has to be one of the most elaborate of all time.
Ocean's eleven comprises of a heavy star cast and when you look at Brad Pitt , Julia , Clooney, Casey ,Garcia etc usually our entertainment standards are automatically adjusted to a very high level. I personally feel no one got a great story line to highlight their star prowess apart from Brad.Story is good but not so mind blowing where we cannot predict or else feel wow when all are revealed. Good film to watch with a light heart where there is not much to think or analyze after it ends. So the film ends and with it any emotion we had during the film. That is a low point in the story line as i believe.
