Today’s Review: Ocean’s Eleven
Crisply directed by Steven Soderbergh in 2001 and starring the post modern Redford-Newman combination of Brad Pitt and George Clooney, Ocean’s Eleven is pure fluff that goes down smooth like a Belvedere martini. This breezy caper flick is more stylized than the original with it’s sweeping panoramas of Vegas, never- a- dull- moment plotline, along with lots of eye candy for the ladies with Matt Damon, Andy Garcia and Don Cheadle joining Clooney and Pitt in the “hunk-fest”. Of course it’s silly and implausible, but Soderbergh and friends still serve up a film that is fun, slick, hot and ultimately wonderfully entertaining.
