The Post-Modern " Rat Pack"Review created: 12/22/06

Ocean's Eleven & Twelve are loosely based on the 1960 rat-pack's entertaining escapades. Danny Ocean (George Clooney) plays a silky smooth con man fresh out of jail & up to a new scheme of tricks. This time it's 3 Las Vegas casinos, whose vault is filled with hundreds of millions of dollars that he & ten more thieves are planning to rob. Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), owns all three casinos with a particular bent on security. He's dating Tess (Julia Roberts) who is Danny's (Clooney's) ex-wife. You think Danny's got a beef with Terry?
The crew of con men consist of: card shark Ryan (Brad Pitt), pick-pocket Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon), demolition specialist Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle), corrupt casino dealer Frank Catton (Bernie Mac), drivers & shape-shifters Virgil & Turk Malloy (Casey Affleck & Scott Caan), surveillance nerd Dell (Eddie Jemison), veteran grifter Saul Bloom (Carl Reiner), Reuben Tishkoff (Elliot Gould), moneyed former casino owner, & Benedict (Shaobo Qin), a Chinese acrobatic Yen whose talent for bending in half becomes a key part of the heist's effectiveness.
The original Ocean's Eleven was classic due to the famous appeal of Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Dean Martin, & Frank Sinatra -- the original rat pack.
Steven Soderbergh directs a brilliantly cast host of Hollywood stars. Screenwriter Ted Griffin took a heap of license with the original script, updating it, I feel, for a better shows than the originals.

"Ocean's Eleven", jam-packed with stars including but not limited to George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Andy Garcia is as highly explosive as dynamite. "Ocean's Eleven" was released in 2001, directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Ted Griffin. It was actually based on the 1960's movie "Ocean's 11" starring The Rat Pack. With today's technology the movie is taken to a whole new level here. Ultimately it is the most criminally genius movie ever. George Clooney's suave charm keeps you intrigued throughout and just when you think you know how everything is going to...

First movie was somehow fun. But, the second one, they just lost it. By the end of the movie I was sleeping. But, if you like action movies no matter what, you can watch it.
