Ocean's 11 (2001)

The 2001 remake of Ocean's 11 is a better crafted movie in general than the 1960 version. The plot hangs together better. The characters are better written and balanced into an ensemble rather than a Rat-Packer star vehicle. The plan isn't really any more realistic, but it is far more complex and interesting to watch. Overall, the 2001 version is a better movie on most counts... unless you're just a big Rat Pack fan. Which is OK.
Ocean's 11 2001 has Danny Ocean (George Clooney) as a long-time criminal, into burglaries rather than violent crime, fresh out of jail. He assembles a team of fellow professionals (rather than army buddies) for a complex heist at 3 Las Vegas casinos, all run by same ruthless man, Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia). Here, the main plot complication is Ocean's ex-wife (Julia Roberts) who happens to have become Benedict's girlfriend and might be able to blow the lid off the whole operation.
One interesting aspect of this movie compared to the first is that Las Vegas, between 1960 and 2001, has become corporate and much cleaner in general. Gone is the edge of the mob and guys skimming the till. It has been replaced by full-blown spectacle, powered by gobs and gobs of cash.
Overall, I give the movie a B.
