4/5 Watch It For George and Brad Alone
  by Movie Lover (Seoul, South Korea)
This movie is nothing more than an excuse for George and Brad to wear snappy suits and exchange equally snappy dialogue (I love the bit about rehearsing a speech). If you don't like these guys, don't bother, but if you even like them a little bit, you owe it to yourself to buy this. It is well worth it.

4/5 Beginning to a great collection

The beginning of Ocean's crew.
Brad Pitt & George Clooney are great together.

4/5 Good fun with Clooney and Pitt

Well, it's no cinematic masterpiece, but it's definitely good for some laughs, and there are points of creative writing. This is the kind of movie that I like to call "airplane movies". Still, a good movie to add to anyone's collection.

5/5 Great movie!!!

This movie is really amazing!!!!! The plot is so ingenious, with little twists and unexpected turns here and there. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole movie, wondering what would happen next. All the characters are played really well with exceptional actors (George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts to name a few). I did not expect the end of the movie, and I thought it was really funny and smart. If you want a good thriller, this is it. Danny Ocean truly picked an amazing eleven. :)

4/5 Nostalgic but slightly disappointing
  by Jacques COULARDEAU (OLLIERGUES France)
The first film of the Ocean saga, trilogy, so far, The first one is the prototype and prototype it is. One simple situation. A casino in Las Vegas. A complicated security set up but nothing impregnable because impregnable is not in Hollywood's dictionary. A whole set of gangsters led by Brad, Matt and George, and enjoying themselves very much. Of course they succeed with a little bit of high tech. And they stage the whole thing for the casino entrepreneur who falls in the trap of what he sees on his video cameras and on his surveillance screens and then he finds out he has been tricked and that the bill of the trick is something around 163 million dollars, maybe less, maybe more, who knows, but sure more than the trick his female, or male, employees are selling to the hotel and casino customers. It is apparently easy to lure this business gangster or this gangster businessman: flatter his vain and arrogant ego by flattering his security because he believes he has the best security in the world, and then you can go through. Apart from that tricky complicated situation, the film is very simple, if not ordinary. But after all it is only a matrix: it has to remain simple to breed good sequels, and this one bred two sequels. Good entertainment, for the actors too I guess.
