Editorial Review:
Danny Ocean likes his chances. All he asks is that his handpicked squad of 10 grifters and cons play the game like they have nothing to lose. If all goes right, the payoff will be a fat $150 million. Divided by 11. You do the math.
Description of Ocean's Eleven [Blu-ray]:
Ocean's Eleven improves on 1960's Rat Pack original with supernova casting, a slickly updated plot, and Steven Soderbergh's graceful touch behind the camera. Soderbergh reportedly relished the opportunity "to make a movie that has no desire except to give pleasure from beginning to end," and he succeeds on those terms, blessed by the casting of George Clooney as Danny Ocean, the title role originated by Frank Sinatra. Fresh out of jail, Ocean masterminds a plot to steal $163 million from the seemingly impervious vault of Las Vegas's Bellagio casino, not just for the money but to win his ex-wife (Julia Roberts) back from the casino's ruthless owner (Andy Garcia). Soderbergh doesn't scrimp on the caper's comically intricate strategy, but he finds greater joy in assembling a stellar team (including Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, and Carl Reiner) and indulging their strengths as actors. The result is a film that's as smooth as a silk suit and just as stylish. --Jeff Shannon
Ocean's Eleven [Blu-ray] Reviews:
exactly what I expected! 
2009-11-09 - The service was great and the movie was in new condition. And the movie was good also.
A VERY GOOD CAST!
2009-09-12 - THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE WITH A GOOD CAST, THAT WILL ENTERTAIN YOU, IT HAS A GOOD PLOT AND STICK'S TO IT.
I love this movie
2009-08-03 - You know the story, this is a remake of a classic that is a classic. I just love it. It moves so well, provides comedy, suspense good acting and everything else. Clooney is the natural leader here with a mysterious, yet gorgeous Julia Roberts playing one of her best parts, subtle, but necessary. This bunch of nuts and misfits (not really), get the last laugh, Clooney almost gets the boot because, Pitt finds out about some of his motives. Just one of those flicks that you can watch 5 times and still see something new.
Danny boy, oh Danny boy.
2009-07-10 - I have been a fan of this video for a long time. I was so pleased to see it released on blu-ray. The transfer looks amazing, especially the dark lighted casino scenes. The movie itself is a 5/5, with a great cast, superb script, and awesome editing. This is a must have for any blu ray owner, or movie fanatic. You will not be disappointed.
Entertainment, Vegas style 
2009-06-23 - Like Vegas itself, Ocean's 11 is thick with mega-watt stars, sleek surfaces and slick glamour, a well oiled, corporately produced money-making machine, cleverly designed to appeal to male and female fantasies alike (yes ladies, there's someone here for just about everyone). None of it goes very deep or very far (as has been noted, the plot is hole-y as a showgirl's fishnets), but that was never the point. As long as you don't confuse fantasy with reality, and do something stupid like bet the mortgage or mistake this for anything other than a slick, vaguely seedy but mildly charming entertainment, a good time will be had by all.
