As we live and breathe, Steven Soderbergh is making the best kid-stuff for adults since Howard Hawks put Cary Grant in a sombrero. It’s no small achievement.

Variety
TOP CRITIC
This wholly enjoyable entertainment sees Soderbergh setting himself a new challenge – the hi-tech robbery procedural – and relishing the clichs even as he freshens them with a dab of polish, wit, pace and a light touch of irony.

TOP CRITIC
It can, at times, be forgettable in a fun way, especially when its funniest performers are caught in Soderbergh’s spinning crosshairs.

TOP CRITIC
Twenty years on, Ocean’s 11 has become a time capsule, capturing not only the moment between Las Vegas’s split identities, but also the last go-round of the Movie Star era.

Lainey Gossip
It’s a compulsively re-watchable, funny, exciting, and altogether fun movie, one of the best of director Steven Soderbergh’s career. (20th anniversary)

Ocean’s Eleven was and is a film worth watching, and there is practically a laundry list of reasons why that is.

One big, slick heist, dripping with style, and bobbing with energy…

A big-budget, stylish heist film with an A-list cast, well-suited to match.

Plot
Danny Ocean wants to score the biggest heist in history. He combines an eleven member team, including Frank Catton, Rusty Ryan and Linus Caldwell. Their target? The Bellagio, the Mirage and the MGM Grand. All casinos owned by Terry Benedict. It’s not going to be easy, as they plan to get in secretly and out with $150 million.
