Ocean's Eleven (DVD 2002)

This movie must be watched from beginning to end. You miss a bit, then start again because the plot is so clever. They have to steal millions of dollars from high tech security vault within three casinos. They did it, right under their nose. Or did they????.......I recommend this Movie.

Its got to be said that this film is going to annoy some people due to its position as a remake of what might be considered a great film by some viewers. But the main point is, it does a good job, even if its a slightly different type of film.
The story is built around the premise that the recently released major gambling thief Daniel Ocean is building a team of 11 crack thieves all with specialist skills to pull off the greatest ever Casino robbery. The ultimate robbery that has never been conceived before. Oddly enough he builds his team, some of whom appear to be misfits and begins to plan the job.

The good thing about the story is that, unlike some others, they don't actually let you in on the whole plan, you don't know quite how the job is going to come off. Now building the details of plans forms the basis of other films, so in this one they had to fill the story with other titbits to keep you off the scent. These include the love of Oceans life and his plan to woo her back, various mishaps along the way that threaten the job and buckets of humour. Ok, its not a comedy, but when you compare it to films of its type it has more than its fair share of laughs.

One of the striking features is the way the actors work from each other, it appears obvious they enjoyed themselves and it shines through. The quick punchy nature of the dialogue, the timing and the body language are beyond these actors to mimic if it had not been enjoyable.

Its a great film not to have to concentrate on too much, you can pick up at various points and not miss too much, its also one that can be watched more than once without losing too much appeal, I think you might pick up on new gags on the second viewing for instance.

i bought this dvd just because my 9 year old daughter caught a glimpse of this film on tv a while ago, she liked brad pitt, just like most women (me included), and decided that it was a very very good film for her to watch, instead of all the disney films that i have to put up with!!!!. Good for me as she is now asking for more brad pitt films, so now my collection is growing. I would recommend this film for all ages.

I really enjoyed watching this DVD. I love George Clooney and this was a major reason for me buying it. A lot of my friends had seen the film and said that it was very good, they were right, I thoroughly enjoyed it.I was a little disappointed that George Clooney was not incluided in the audio commentaries but the behind the scenes documentaries were excellent. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable DVD.

Ocean's Eleven contains one of the best casts ever in my opinion. It's got comedy, romance, played, clever tricks and more. Soderbourgh directs and shows why he got 2 Oscar nominations in 2001.
I must have seen this movie about 20 times!

After I watched this film I was told that it was a re-make of an old film. I haven't had the chance to follow it up but if it is then I can't imagine that the original was as good as this one. With all of the Hollywood stars in this film they couldn't afford to release a poor film. The acting by Andy Garcia stands out in a league of his own, not quite De Nero but he is closest actor to him. I will be serching e-bay to try and win Ocean's Twelve to see how this one fairs.

What is not to like about this film,it has everything that you want.Action,decent storylines etc and i think the directors or producers when they approach George Clooney knew that he would make the main character is own.He outshines the rest of the cast in this film and i really enjoy it.
I would defiantly recomend this to anyone who like me wants to watch a film about a group of guys and gals who decided to get their own back on the system.

As a fan of all types of films i stated this one with an open mind. My girlfriend and her dad had both told me just how good this film was and believe me i wasnt dissapointed. Although my girlfriend did fall a sleep whilst watching it with me (3rd time she had seen it & Hungover)

if your looking for a film with a good storyline a great cast and nice effects then this is the one for you. A must have in any DVD collection (it's in mine)

I DEFINETLY RECOMMEND you buy this film
