Ocean's Eleven

Ocean's 11 is a movie about a conman named Danny Ocean(George Clooney). When Danny gets released from prison he allready has an idea for a scam. With the help of his friend and associate, Rusty Ryan(Brad Pitt), he rounds up a group of cons to help him pull the scam. The group includes Frank Catton(Bernie Mac), the fighting brothers who specialized in getaways/vehicles/disturbances Turk and Virgil Malloy (Scott Caan and Casey Affleck), an aging con out of retirement Saul Bloom(Carl Reiner), the explosives expert Basher Tarr(Don Cheadle), a pick pocket and son of a famous con, Linus Cadwell(Matt Damon), the electronics expert Livingston Dell(Eddie Jemison), the chinese acrobat Yen(Shaobo Qin) and their financial backer Reuben Tiskoff(Elliot Gould).

The prize these cons are after is the vault of three combined casinos, loaded with cash on a fight night. Danny has a personal stake in this because his wife's, Tess Ocean(Julia Roberts) new boyfriend Terry Benedict(Andy Garcia) is the owner of the three casinos. Once Danny and Rusty get the backing from Reuben they begin preperations to break into the casino. In the end the viewer will find out if Danny and his 11 can escape the vicious Terry Benedict with the money and their lives.

This is an awesome movie! The acting is great from Clooney and Pitt and all the excentricities of the smaller characters in the group keep you entertained. Besides being a suspense/thriller there are alot of funny scenes in this movie that are quite hilarious. The way they pull of the caper in the end is very good even if you saw it coming. Some of my favourite parts are Saul saying "My name is Lyman Zerga", Yen in the vault, Danny saying "He's the little chinese guy" and the brothers fighting in the casino. Basher is a great character with his own crazy invented english slang that no one can understand. I don't like Julia Roberts very much, but fortunately she is barely in the movie. So overall a great movie with a great cast and a great idea. A very entertaining experience that will be worth your while.

With so many characters in the movie I thought it needed alot of pictures!
