A rag-tag group of con artists and ex-cons team up for the heist to end all heists in this high-profile remake of the 1960 Rat Pack favorite. As with its predecessor, Ocean's Eleven opens with its tit... read more read more...ular hero Danny Ocean (George Clooney stepping into the Frank Sinatra role) eager for a new challenge. The similarities to the original end there, as Ocean conspires with his old pal Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) to rob 150 million dollars from an underground vault that serves three of Las Vegas' biggest casinos. Between the two of them, they recruit nine other men, each with his own criminal specialty, to assist in the mission: moneyman Reuben Tishkoff (Elliot Gould), card dealer Frank (Bernie Mac), pickpocket Linus (Matt Damon), aging con artist Saul (Carl Reiner), British explosives pro Basher (Don Cheadle), techie Dell (Eddie Jemison), rude-boy brothers Virgil (Casey Affleck) and Turk (Scott Caan), and professional acrobat Yen (Shaobo Qin). What Ocean doesn't tell the group is that there's another reason he's coordinating the heist: the three casinos they're robbing are all owned by ruthless gambling mogul Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), who just happens to be married to Ocean's former love Tess (Julia Roberts). Ocean's Eleven was updated by scribe Ted Griffin and marked the third feature shot by director Steven Soderbergh under the alias Peter Andrews. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

    Movie about a group of guys who rob three Las Vegas casinos in one night. My fave scenes are when George explains the plan to the guys and when he forgets the batteries for the remote.

    George Clooney's portrayal of the famed Danny Ocean fits well with the adaptation of the remake to a modern-day Vegas-based heist film. The colorful cast including Damon, Pitt, Cheadle, Mac & Roberts. Ocean's Eleven plays well with it's own time and environment. 4/5

    I may be overlooking something here, but everything just seems entirely smooth with this film. As Danny Ocean (George Clooney) is released from prison, he assembles a team of eleven people to rob three of the most profitable casinos in all of Las Vegas. The plot is huge and the p... read moreayoff will be gigantic. They are in the running for over 163 million dollars. The cast is brilliant and the writing is superb. Sure there may be some annoying edits throughout the film and there will be some noticeable stumbles during the robbery, but "Ocean's Eleven" delivers on everything. When the film ended, I applauded it for making me believe that I was watching more than just another heist film. This film is terrific!

    A smart, funny, very suave movie with a great cast. The only fault is how calm, confident and coy they are as they rob a major casino's vault, but a great movie once you make peace with the fact that it is a movie, not real.

    The first of a trilogy of what I believe to be the most revered 21st century heist films, Oceans Eleven is well acted, stylish, unpredictable, witty, hilarious with credible character emotions and chemistry.

    It's not just the fact that there's so much star powered included but i... read moret gives each character enough screentime to really work their chemistry. It's a smart, fun script working with an escapist premise grounded by real life potentialities.

    A whole lot of fun packaged into multiple characters with plenty of personality and back-story further accentuated by a suspenseful well directed story with plenty of style.

    "Ocean's Eleven"'s got style, but not as much as 12 & 13. Surprisingly, the editing and cinematography takes a back seat, but the narrative is what makes it so entertaining. I disagree that its the best Ocean's movie out of the 3, but it's a good time.

    An instant classic of the heist genre with a very classy and sophisticated ensemble cast. Also, the comedy doesn't take charge of the very thought out plot, not distracting you from the thrils of the caper. That said, Ocean's Eleven is near perfect popcorn entertainment that's wi... read moretty, clever, stands out from the rest of it's genre and is superior to the film that inspired it.

    Reuben: You guys are pros. The best. I'm sure you can make it out of the casino. Of course, lest we forget, once you're out the front door, you're still in the middle of the fucking desert! 

    "3 Casinos. 11 Guys. 150 Million Bucks. Ready To Win Big?"

    Oceans 11 may be my favorite... read more Steven Soderbergh film. It is the perfect heist movie, with the perfect director and the perfect cast. I love how the movie moves and takes twists and turns that you don't think the characters planned, but in reality they did. The heist scenes are so well put together and so fucking fun and entertaining. 

    A conman, Danny Ocean, gets out of prison and decides to put a new heist into action. He assembles a gang of conmen, with a goal of taking three Las Vegas casinos for more than 150 million. Danny has a little bit of a beef with the man that runs the casinos, so that makes the heist all the more interesting. Some things happened that I honestly didn't see coming. The movie is extremely well put together. I don't know how it fares comparatively with the original, but I can't see that movie being better than this one. 

    Like I said the cast is pretty much perfect. There's George Clooney, the Soderbergh go to man, as Danny Ocean. Brad Pitt is the other leader of the heist. Then there's one of my favorites, Don Cheadle, who has a British accent in this movie and is absolutely phenomenal as he normally is. And then actors like Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, Andy Garcia and Julia Roberts have supporting parts. Can you put together a better cast?

    I've seen this movie a few times now, but have never seen the sequels. Every time I see Oceans, I am more and more blown away with just how technically well made it is and just how fun it still manages to be after multiple viewings. It is simply put, my favorite heist film of all-time. It is not a typical masterpiece, but a masterpiece all the same.

    Linus: Apparently, he's got a record longer than my... well, it's long.
