All rights reserved.| Movie Description Loosely based on the 1960 Rat Pack film of the same name, OCEAN'S 11 is a hi-tech crime comedy that features a top-notch cast. Con man Danny Ocean (George Clooney) has just been released from a four-year jail term and decides that his first order of business is robbing three Las Vegas casinos owned by the slimy Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia). To pull off this nearly impossible task, he quickly assembles an eclectic crew--including a card shark (Brad Pitt), a pickpocket (Matt Damon), an explosives expert (Don Cheadle), and an aging gambler (Carl Reiner)--and seeks financial backing from a freewheeling casino mogul (Elliott Gould) who holds a grudge against Benedict. However, it soon becomes apparent that Ocean has more at stake than money and his newly found freedom--his ex-wife, Tess (Julia Roberts), just happens to be Benedict's new girlfriend. Can Ocean steal back Tess's heart and more than a hundred million dollars at the same time? Continuing an impressive streak of films that began with OUT OF SIGHT and THE LIMEY and exploded into even wider acclaim and popularity with ERIN BROCKOVICH and TRAFFIC, Steven Soderbergh helms this star-studded caper flick with a strong sense of style and humor. Clooney and Pitt, in particular, have a great rapport and both exude a suave, laid-back charm. Damon, Cheadle, Gould, and Reiner all provide excellent comic turns, while Garcia gives an appropriately sinister performance. The whole glittery package is topped off by David Holmes' engaging score, which ties together the sounds and moods of Hollywood past and present.

Top Reviews Review created: 10/13/06 by: 8 of 11 people found this review helpful. This is an excellent entertaining movie that has it all - the glitz and glamour of Vegas, the intriguing plot, the top notch director...and of course, lets not forget the all star cast!! Led by George Clooney, this is full of A-listers...Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Carl Reiner, to name but a few! When you take the talent of this cast, the directorial skills of Steven Soderbergh and of course you are reworking a classic rat pack movie...you have a hit on your hands! There is such a good movie, the plot was interesting, and had a number of great twists, going out with a boom with the final surprise in the plot! The reworking of the original is slick, especially updating the plot to include well known Vegas landmarks such as The Bellagio and The Venetian; and the attention to detail and the killer soundtrack help bring the feel of Vegas right into your living room!! The premise is well known...Clooney - as Danny Ocean gets out of jail on a promise to behave but soon rounds up a group of 'talented' criminals with various expertise relating to criminal activity; to become 'Ocean's Eleven'. The goal: pulling off one of the biggest thefts in Vegas history not only to reep the multimillion dollar reward but Danny plans to win back his wife played by Julia Roberts who is dating the owner of the Casino, the role of which is expertly played by Andy Garcia! The plot flows eloquently; with humor and intrigue throughout. The visuals are simply stunning, particularly towards the conclusion of the movie where the water show of the Bellagio, combines with expertly filmography and stellar music to provide a breathtaking scene! This is a favorite of mine, and is the superior of the two recent Oceans movies...simply not to be missed and destined to become a classic! Review ID: 10000000002123415 Was this review helpful?

Ocean's Eleven is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen for various reasons, one of which is the fact that it has every single hot guy in Hollywood in it! I love the action and the jokes! It's just a great movie! Review ID: 10000000001991438 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews I am very happy doing business with this seller. I have ordered 3 DVD's from inflatablemadness and I have been satisfied every time. I have not been buying on Ebay very long, but consider myself lucky to have picked this seller to do business with. I would strongly and happily recommend this seller to anyone. Thanks for keeping your promise of the condition of the DVD's, quick shipping and answering any emails I sent with questions promptly. I choose this seller because of the condition of the items I wanted to buy, the price, and shipping costs. I decided to buy again after ordering 2 DVD's for my son, because of the positive experience of my first order. I would not hesitate to buy again and I will purchase more items from this seller.
