Ocean's Eleven
What do you get when you drop a handful of Hollywood's hottest stars into a Las Vegas heist movie that tanked in its first manifestation 40 years ago?
Answer: Ocean's Eleven. Steven Soderbergh's overhaul of this 1960 Rat Pack flop finds ex-jailbird George Clooney fronting a squad of mugs conspiring to break the bank -- in this case, an Impenetrable' vault containing millions --situated beneath Vegas's grandest casino. Andy Garcia, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Bernie Mac comprize Clooney's gang, with Julia Roberts as the girl.
Though entertaining, Soderbergh's visual voyage overpowers with Vegas razzle and Hollywood dazzle while insubstantial characterizations ultimately cast audiences adrift. (Warner Bros.)
