Ocean's Eleven (2001)

A very nicely done art-of-the-con flick! The ensemble cast plays very well together and with plenty of understated humor. (To George Clooney nitpickers: It's not being cocky when he's right and he wins, esp. after affecting humility.) Here is a smartly designed production that resembles the brainy twists and turns of the Mission: Impossible TV series more than the amped-up MI movie franchise and is almost as fun as The Italian Job. 4.5 stars.
