Less than 24 hours into his parole, charismatic thief Danny Ocean is already rolling out his next plan: In one night, Danny's hand-picked crew of specialists will attempt to steal more than $150 million from three Las Vegas casinos. But to score the cash, Danny risks his chances of reconciling with ex-wife, Tess.
Soderbergh's heist remake lands as a crowd-pleaser that critics largely enjoyed without treating as serious cinema — stylish, breezy, and knowingly lightweight. The ensemble chemistry and the central robbery sequence drew the most consistent praise, while a handful of critics felt the film's effortless cool came at the cost of real substance. Don Cheadle's cockney accent became a running joke, widely cited as one of the more distracting elements.
