I was looking forward to seeing Ocean's Eleven. I like clever heist-type movies, and I'm a fan of many of these actors. I'm glad that I wasn't disappointed. It's a fun little movie about a group of criminals that plan and execute a robbery on three Las Vegas casinos. This film is all about slick style and swagger, and I can dig that. A movie that just lets its' actors play it cool can be fun to watch, because it's so clear that the actors had fun making it.
I guess if I was going to complain about anything, it would be that all the crew involved in the robbery seemed to be a friendly bunch that adheres to the "honor among thieves" policy. A nice double-cross or two wouldn't have hurt. But it doesn't matter, it's just great fun to watch anyway.

Lennox Lewis's cameo. He was so wrapped up in filming for this movie, he got knocked out by Hasim Rahman in a real fight and lost his championship. Of course, he won it back by the time Ocean's Eleven opened in theatres.

"I anoint Danny Ocean as an honorary ninja. He upholds the proper code and conduct becoming of all ninja's."
