Good

Living in Las Vegas I find it a stretch that it works. But it is still one of my favorite movies.

Fluffy but lots of fun,
Reviewed by Alan-Gekko for Ocean's Eleven at 2011-07-11 22:41:10
A rarity--a remake that's better than the original. 11 men led by Danny Ocean (George Clooney) prepare to rob a vault linked to 3 casinos in Las Vegas. His partners in crime include Brad Pitt, Carl Reiner, Elliot Gould, Casey Affleck, Matt Damon and Scott Caan. Also, the casinos are owned by Tery Benedict (Andy Garcia) who is romancing Ocean's ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts). Fun, engrossing, moves smoothly, the entire cast plays it cool and easy and Steven Soderbergh directs it with flair and intelligence. Yes, it's light; yes, it's a trifle but it's so FUN!

Solid, Not Great
Reviewed by criddic2 for Iron Man 2 at 2010-09-26 03:45:02
Downey and cast provide a lot of fun, along with superb effects, but it doesn't soar to quite the same heights of the first.

Cheadle's Good
Reviewed by Sharkbait for Traitor at 2009-03-24 21:31:38
This watchable enough little thriller is held together through all its twists and turns of plot by Cheadle's effective performance. Worth a rent.

That Kid on 3rd Rock From the Sun...
Reviewed by KHL for Manic at 2008-04-17 17:42:17
Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Yes, he was that young kid with the long hair in that great TV show, but he's grown up now and proven he can really act. Lyle (Levitt)finds his sociopathic self locked in juvenile psych detention because he nearly killed a classmate with a baseball bat. Don Cheadle (always amazingly good, no exception here) plays the counselor trying to get through to him and the rest of the therapy group. Deschanel is excellent as fellow patient, the troubled, quiet Tracy. The camera work is fairly annoying, but I suppose it was used to good purpose, as it creates a disorienting effect. Good acting all around by many unknown young actors. Don't expect major plot development, it kind of meanders along, but does come to an ultimate conclusion.

This was really fun to watch. No work of art, but neither was the original.

I know a lot of people like him...
Reviewed by Tom for Ocean's Eleven at 2008-03-12 13:57:38
But I'm sorry, George Clooney is nowhere near being Frank Sinatra. It just doesn't work. The original Ocean's 11 is an amazing timepiece showing the coolest guys and gals in the 60s universe horsing around, partying, and in general having fun making jokes together. This, by comparison, is more like the major studios having fun thinking people wouldn't know that this movie had already been done, and done better, with bigger stars, better scenery (mainly due to the spectacle of the Vegas of the 60s, before Disney moved in) and better all-around performances. Plus, of course, songs by Rat-Pack members.

Look at me I'm Clooney.
Reviewed by Yipperbore for Ocean's Eleven at 2008-03-10 10:48:32
Three bones for this regurgitated plot that brings absolutely nothing new to the crime genre. Hmmm it's not comedy, it's not drama, it's not action, but it has a lot of pretty hollywood A-listers in it. This must be gold!! (assuming gold is the nuggets I pull from my nose I would agree).
