p Ocean 's Eleven ' film critique

It is not that widely spread that re-makes of the movies appear to be better than original , but in the recent years it becomes a positive tendency that good old movies in new performance are of a great success if take Godzilla , Gone in 60 Seconds , Ocean 's Eleven , you name it ! In this essay we will try to analyze 2001 re-make Ocean 's Eleven ' starring super movie stars such as George Clooney , Brad Pitt Julia Roberts , Casey Affleck , Matt Damon , Andy Garcia , Elliott Gould Carl

This is really marvelous as such top stars as George Clooney , Brad Pitt , Julia Roberts , Casey Affleck , Matt Damon , Andy Garcia , and others are pushing the movie to the limits

George Clooney plays Danny Ocean , a thief , or better say bank robber who plans the new robbery with his team of eleven other good criminals (as they appear to be like a modern Robin Hoods - taking money from the rich and . spending them themselves ) right after he gets out of New Jersey prison on parole .
