movie review - Ocean's Eleven

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Vancouver, 2002.01.05

This flick has a great cast, and what promises to be a complex plot, but it somehow fails to fall into place. It lacks a certain vitality it needed to make it more than just so many well-crafted scenes. You spend two hours watching a great cast do... not much.

Not recommended.

It's weird, man. People can watch a movie where thousands of people die in a war and not a tear. Yet one collie dies .. and the entire nation collapses with grief.
