Ocean's Eleven


Can it be 15 years since Ocean's Eleven came out?  A remake of the 1960 film of the same name, it follows Daniel Ocean and his ten companions as they seek to pull of the biggest heist in history- robbing $160 million from three vaults in Las Vegas.  To do so, they'll need a talented team pulling cons within cons within cons . . . but with several setbacks and suspicions about the motive, condition, or capability of certain teammates, can they pull it off?

This is a great movie.  Great cast, fun music, good humor, tight suspense, compelling characters, unexpected plot twists . . . there's a lot to enjoy about this film.  The only drawback is when you stop and think that you're pulling all movie for people to successfully steal.  Yes, they're stealing from an absolute jerk, and they're doing so in an innovative and fun way . . . but does that legitimize crime?

Rating: A
