Ocean's Eleven
The plan is set. The rules are clear. If all goes right for Danny Ocean's grifters, the payoff is $150 million. Divided by 11. You do the math.
The skill of Academy Award®-winning director Steven Soderbergh combines with enough starpower to light up the Las Vegas strip in this classy caper. George Clooney plays Danny, defying the odds in a split-second heist of three Vegas casinos - all owned by a magnate (Andy Garcia) who is dating Danny's ex-wife (Julia Roberts). A fixer (Brad Pitt), a pickpocket (Matt Damon), a blackjack dealer (Bernie Mac), a flimflammer (Carl Reiner) and others in well-defined roles are with Danny. Are you in or out?

A really good heist film. - moviegenius
This was a really fun movie. I was very entertained. I liked the performances from George Clooney, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. It was also a funny movie and it had an interesting plot. I was happy that I saw this movie. I think this is a movie worth checking out.Oceans' Eleven is a film that doesn't pressure your brain with elaborate scheming & counter scheming - moviemonger
Ocean's Eleven is one hell of a stuffed movie! It literally falls apart at the seams with Hollywood poster boys coupled with a truckload of tinsel, some glam bam showbiz glitz and chic. Check out the talent - Clooney, Pitt, Damon and Julia Roberts! No wonder the halls are so packed. There's enough for both the sexes and much more. But more than plain eye candy, Ocean's Eleven steps delicately into the shoes vacated by the Rat Pack - the inimitable Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Junior. If you recoiled in tender horror at facing another remake and thought that this flick is not worth the whistle, then put your boots on buddy, the verdict is out - Ocean's Eleven is here to stay! The bunch bundle up at the Casino Bellagio and orchestrate the heist, and this makes for some fun gaping at the screen. Thankfully the director doesn't take us for adults with finger painting as a hobby, and spares us all the details till the end, where we watch the robbery unfold before our thrilled mugs. It's an exciting 15 minutes as we giggle like bubble blowing teenagers and watch the flick as it entertains through and through like there's no tomorrow. Oceans' Eleven is a film that doesn't pressure your brain with elaborate scheming and counter scheming, but it winds down a route where you just watch and don't question the logic of the actions or the script. This flick is another great way of putting off important work until the next 24 hours and shouldn't be missed for all the chips in the planet. Clooney does a smash job as the ex-con and simmers with a velvet arrogance, and I would go all out of my way to cast my vote for him as the next Bond (aw shucks, Pierce Brosnan is too frail to even unclasp his watch). Poster boy Brad Pitt munches his way through his screen time as he shimmers in and out as Rusty, Clooney's right hand man.
"So? Are you in or out?" asks Clooney. I'm in!!!Cinematic popcorn - Mr_Humidty
This film is famous for its all-star line-up, and they are enjoyable enough. But I appreciated it for the style on display by its director. Steven Soderbergh is known for making edgy, social-relevant films, so it's interesting to see him perform in a film that's merely entertainment. He delivers!
