Oceans 11 always is a fun thing to watch, its one of those movies that make us love going to the cinema.

Whilst I did watch this the wrong way around, ie. The remake before the original, I was pleasantly surprised with the differences between the two. Whilst the main plot sort of remains the same, this version does give you songs from the Rat pack and managed to give a surprise end... read more

a fun and energetic heist flick. this is one of those rare instances where the remake is probably a bit better than the original, but this rat pack film is still a lot of fun to watch. the logic that the thieves use at the end of the film falls down under scrutiny, but the film... read more

Danny Ocean: Why waste those cute little tricks that the Army taught us just because it's sort of peaceful now.
The first big movie to feature the original Rat Pack. Its a caper flick that has of course been remade into a hipper (and better) film, but this is still enjoyable. I... read more -

An awesome caper film from the Rat Pack. I really enjoyed the remake, but this one is something quite special, and needs to be sought after by fans of the remake and its sequels.

Oh my God! I forgot--there was a movie I shut off before the end and this was it! I was like Malcolm McDowell in Clockwork Orange when they ran the conditioning on him! This was one of the biggest pieces of shit ever and I couldn't get through it! I hate this movie in ways that c... read more

A classic Rat Pack movie. Not as high-tech as Soderberghs, but still very good. Unlike Soderbergh's version where they rob 1 vault which belongs to three casinos, the gang robs 5 different casino vaults at once.
Critic Reviews
Young people are likely to find this more appropriate and bewitching than do their elders. The latter are likely to feel less gleeful in the presence of heroes who rob and steal. Full Review
Chummy caper comedy, mainly for Rat Pack fanciers. Full Review
There are many incidental pleasures to be had. Full Review
Considering the iconic status of all involved, the result is disappointing. Full Review
Sinatra, Davis, and Martin performed their club acts at night and worked on this Las Vegas-set film during the day, and the good time they were having fairly jumps off the screen. Full Review
One suspects that the most memorable moments occurred off-camera. Full Review
