Ocean's Eleven

My wife recommended this series to me, having seen part of the third in a hotel months ago. We both sat down to see her Netflix copy of the first movie tonight.

I like this sort of large-cast adventure, with all the bits and pieces falling into place. I'm not sure why I skipped this one on release, as it kept me from seeing the rest. I'll fix that shortly.

As to be expected, some of the plot points are made for film. Big machine with green goo that knocks out power to the city? Heh. I appreciated it for the fun the props department must have had thinking it up. There's nothing wrong with a little fun, and this move was full of it.
