Hollywood's A list stars come together to pull off the most daring heist Las Vegas has ever known...11 men, 3 casinos, 150 million dollars, 1 chance to pull it off. It will take brilliant planning shrewd scheming, cunning disguises, truckloads of technology and just a little bit of luck. But how do you fleece one of the most ruthless casino operators in town. And how do you break into vaults that no-one has ever got near before? If it works, this will be the scam of their lives. Loaded with witty dialogue, packed with daring action and featuring a truly clever script, this is going to be one night Las Vegas never forgets. (Roadshow Entertainment)

A big portion of entertainment for big money; that simple equation, which rarely works out for filmmakers, has worked brilliantly here. The all-star cast has a chance to properly show off, the script doesn't let up with its barrage of plot information and pleasant humour, and Steven Soderbergh coaxes this artificially stylized bunch with his traditionally effective directorial touch, though ironically his filmmaker's qualities in a such mindless a flick are a waste... But let’s be happy for that ;) 80%

Steven Soderbergh in his best period (at least in my opinion) follows two "relatively serious films" with a terrific diversion that teems with star actors, occasionally offers some pretty awesome dialogue, and feels incredibly fresh and brisk. There's a bit of that "playful directing" effect present here, and I dare say that all the protagonists must have enjoyed the filming in every way (at least that’s the impression I got). A suspenseful crime comedy with themes of "the greater good", Soderbergh gets an A plus for this one.

Today, a quite classic film, which is primarily a remake of a movie from 1960. Steven Soderbergh managed to make a fresh, clever film for which he also gained a lot of talented actors. Although it seems like just a film about robbing a casino, the preparation, execution, and outcome are truly important in this case.

I don't think I'd rob Las Vegas based on this movie (and that's an important variable I expect from heist movies), but making movies like this for the enjoyment of the filmmakers and the audience is nothing I'm opposed to. But notice how, with such a clever band of eleven main characters, Soderbergh allows each to play a single acting part and so together they actually add up to one character in terms of acting. Simple and funny.

Good mood from the first charming look of Clooney to the final tone of the sensual soundtrack. Soderbergh was breaking through to me through several unsuccessful attempts, but I am now even happier that I finally got to a great experience. This firmly organized yet slightly confused squad is impossible not to love.
