Megastar Roberts is wasted - she doesn't have much to do.Any actress could have done the role, but I guess the producers wanted an all-star cast. Andy Garcia is fabulous as Benedict - both elegant and scary, he whispers instead of shouts and stays in control for the most part. This includes the acting in the smaller roles played by Bernie Mac et al - everyone is perfect. Just as they all contribute their different talents to the heist, they do so in this movie. Clooney is solid as Ocean, a passionate man of quiet determination Damon is terrific as an insecure participant Don Cheadle, sporting a Cockney accent, is hilarious as an explosives expert Elliot Gould is outrageous as their financial backer Carl Reiner is excellent as an older con man who can do accents. The chemistry between the actors, particularly Clooney and Pitt, is great, and there is some wonderful acting. And you never know whether something is going wrong or if it's part of the plan. The plot is completely improbable so you have to take it for what it is - fantastic fun.

This is a fast-paced, tension-filled, exciting movie that's highly entertaining.

But Danny isn't one to exit easily, in either marriage or robberies. He 'makes' Danny by sending out a bulletin with Danny's photo to the hotel staff, which puts him out of his own plot at the insistence of Rusty. Problems come in when Ocean, obsessed with his ex-wife (Roberts), approaches her, to the annoyance of her present boyfriend, the owner of the hotel, Terry Benedict (Garcia). With the help of his buddy, Rusty Ryan (Pitt) he recruits 9 people who specialize in a particular expertise to carry out the elaborate heist. The mastermind of a plot to rob Las Vegas' Bellaggio Hotel vault of $160 million is Danny Ocean, a very recent ex-con who had lots of time on his hands in prison to plan it. I suspect that this version has more emphasis on plot and the older one has more emphasis on the pack.

This is a remake of the rat pack 'Ocean's Eleven,' which I've never seen so I can't make comparisons.

The film also stars Andy Garcia and Julia Roberts. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bernie Mac, Elliot Gould, Carl Reiner, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Shaobo Qin, Miguel Perez, and Livingston Dell make up 'Ocean's Eleven,' a 2001 film directed by Steven Soderbergh.
