Ocean's Eleven
Steven Soderbergh, USA, 2001o
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.
Serious pianists sometimes pound out a little honky-tonk, just for fun. That's like what Steven Soderbergh is doing in Ocean's Eleven. This is a standard genre picture, a remake of the 1960 Frank Sinatra caper, and Soderbergh, who usually aims higher, does it as a sort of lark. It's slick, all right: directors this good don't usually handle material this routine. It has yearnings above its natural level, as if hoping to redeem itself and metamorphose into a really good movie.
Roger EbertTrotz der recht konstruierten Geschichte mit nur wenigen Stolpersteinen für die Protagonisten bleibt der Spass selbst für hart gesottene Cineasten und Kunstkino-Freaks nicht auf der Strecke. Dafür sorgt zum einen ein flotter Schnitt, zum anderen ein fabelhafter Soundtrack und natürlich nicht zuletzt die aberwitzige Idee einen Casino-Tresor zu knacken.
