Movie Info

A rag-tag group of con artists and ex-cons team up for the heist to end all heists in this high-profile remake of the 1960 Rat Pack favorite. As with its predecessor, Ocean's Eleven opens with its titular hero Danny Ocean (George Clooney stepping into the Frank Sinatra role) eager for a new challenge. The similarities to the original end there, as Ocean conspires with his old pal Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) to rob 150 million dollars from an underground vault that serves three of Las Vegas' biggest casinos. Between the two of them, they recruit nine other men, each with his own criminal specialty, to assist in the mission: moneyman Reuben Tishkoff (Elliot Gould), card dealer Frank (Bernie Mac), pickpocket Linus (Matt Damon), aging con artist Saul (Carl Reiner), British explosives pro Basher (Don Cheadle), techie Dell (Eddie Jemison), rude-boy brothers Virgil (Casey Affleck) and Turk (Scott Caan), and professional acrobat Yen (Shaobo Qin). What Ocean doesn't tell the group is that there's another reason he's coordinating the heist: the three casinos they're robbing are all owned by ruthless gambling mogul Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), who just happens to be married to Ocean's former love Tess (Julia Roberts). Ocean's Eleven was updated by scribe Ted Griffin and marked the third feature shot by director Steven Soderbergh under the alias Peter Andrews. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

  • A lark for everybody concerned, including the audience.

    December 10, 2008

    Todd McCarthy

    Variety
    Top Critic

  • This wholly enjoyable entertainment sees Soderbergh setting himself a new challenge - the hi-tech robbery procedural - and relishing the clichs even as he freshens them with a dab of polish, wit, pace and a light touch of irony.

  • It can, at times, be forgettable in a fun way, especially when its funniest performers are caught in Soderbergh's spinning crosshairs.

  • Raises the benchmark for all future blockbusters and is guaranteed to put a grin on your face from ear to ear.

Audience Reviews for Ocean's Eleven

  • Apr 10, 2017
    Smoothly executed and acted with perfected performances throughout, Clooney steals the stage for the majority of the picture allowing small glimpses into his co-stars throughout, however it's definitely mostly a Clooney picture - devoid of the feeling of having any ensemble cast to it. This isn't a bad thing, as he is a delight to watch as Danny Ocean - the anti-hero star of the Oceans trilogy. The story has been done before however it hasn't been done like this before and it's extremely thrilling whilst being taut and reserved throughout. It's a film that takes a while to unravel and is mildly confusing throughout, however it's definitely an exciting and well made picture.

    Thanks to a crisp script, steady-handed directing, and an all-star cast, Ocean's Eleven is elevated from forgettable mainstream entertainment to a standard in its genre.

    Watched this classic again. Still as entertaining.
    Chrisanne C Super Reviewer
  • Feb 18, 2013
    Steven Soderbergh delivers a modern take on the Rat Pack classic Ocean's Eleven. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, and Julia Roberts lead an all-star cast that delivers some really good performances. And, the film does an excellent job updating the casino heist to reflect the new Las Vegas of the 21st century. However, the storytelling is rather weak and doesn't develop the characters or the heist well enough to get invested in. Yet despite its problems, Ocean's Eleven is a fun and lighthearted film that's wonderfully entertaining.
