| /Ocean's Eleven/ is a clever film about a casino heist where
everything turns out the way the audience wants it to, with enough
suspense to keep us from getting bored. more |

| It's not the martini you sip but the way you sip it.
It's not the tuxedo you wear but the way you wear it.
And, it's not the words you speak but the way you
speak it. And in "Ocean's Eleven," it's not about the
robbery but the way in which it happens....more |

| CAPSULE: This supposed remake of the 1960 heist has some
nice moments in its buildup but loses credibility when it
takes a turn for the science fictional. The script seems
more contrived than clever. Lots of gloss with nice views...more |
