Ocean's Eleven (2001) 7/10

Starring : George Clooney, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Carl Reiner, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac
Director : Steven Soderbergh
Running Time : 112 mins

Danny Ocean (Clooney) is an ex-con who gathers together a group of criminals in order to rob three of the biggest casinos in Las Vegas during a major boxing match, but the icing on the cake for Danny is that at least one of the casino’s is owned by Terry Benedict (Garcia), who is dating Danny’s wife Tess (Roberts).

This was an okay heist movie, with plenty of cameos but very little of anything else to begin with. It’s incredibly slow to get going, but once it does it soon picks up momentum about halfway through. The performances are solid enough, except for Don Cheadle who does possibly the worst British accent I have ever heard in my life!
