One of the all-time great heist films. I'm sure there was doubt in 2001 over whether George Clooney and the gang could do right by the classic Rat Pack, Sinatra-led heist romp of the 1960s, but all of that fear was assuaged when this movie knocked it out of the park and spawned two sequels that also did moderately well. But this one trumped them all. Frank Ocean and his rag-tag group of specially-skilled con-men rob a casino in Las Vegas and it's just such an intricately smart and entertaining adventure that I want (and have) to watch again and again. And what an all-star cast! The Malloy brothers are classic.
Comedy heist directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Ted Griffin in 2001.
Starring: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Scott Caan, Casey Affleck, Carl Reiner, Elliot Gould, Eddie Jemison, Shaobo Qin, Andy Garcia, and Julia Roberts.
Tune in tomorrow for number sixteen!
Fun movie for good reason.
