"Well, I know all the guys that you'd hire to come after me, and they like me better than you."
They may be thieves, but they have a code of ethics...the same cannot be said of Willie Banks (Pacino). Banks is the most ruthless casino owner. He screws over his partners, and this time his partner is Reuben (Gould), but he doesn't just screw him over...he has him near death. When the gang learns about Reuben they only have one thought...what are we going to do to Banks? In the end they decide the best way to get back, is to attack his casino. Danny (Clooney) and Rusty (Pitt) do recon work to find out the inner workings of the casino...and they hold the reins to the high-rollers. Yen (Qin) is a high roller and Linus (Damon) is his assistant (in disguise). Livingston (Jemison) is a Blackjack Dealer. Saul (Reiner) is their faux critic. Virgil (Affleck) is in the dice factory, leading a revolution. Turk (Caan) has multiple rolls. Basher (Cheadle) is handling the drill. Frank (Mac) is a gamer with the next big casino game. Reuben is incapacitated. They also bring in Roman (Izzard) for some concept ideas, and Benedict (Garcia) as a backer.
Making life difficult for them is Banks assistant, Abigail (Barkin) who knows and notices everything. And the Feds are on their trail and watching the opening of the casino. With Benedict on their team they also have to pay attention to him, and his spy, Toulour (Cassel). Will they pull it off, or will they get caught in the act? And what about Reuben, will he ever recover? And will the women show up (Catherine Zeta-Jones and Julia Roberts)?
Dude, it's quotable: all the Ocean's films are quotable.
Rent it: This film recaptures the spirit of 11, and brings in some new characters who add some fun. I wish there were some old characters involved...Isabel and Tess...but maybe it's better that they aren't
