  Oceans Eleven is a blast. Like a casino heist vault door kind of blast! With bright lights, snappy editing, sharp dialogue and an enviable ensemble cast, Oceans Eleven is undoubtedly a whopper of a film.
  
  When Danny Ocean is released from prison he immediately assembles a crew of eleven to pull off the ultimate casino heist. Imagine the board room pitch! "So there's a casino heist-"
  "Done!"
  
  Just like a murder mystery, a heist is a chocolate box treat kind of genre except with less panache and more popping candy. Sure, if you were to watch a heist movie regularly you'd get sick to death of them. It's no wonder that this film, and in fact every other heist movie, has been parodied at the rate of leper-colony. But, when the time is right, when it's been a while, when you've been dieting, who can resist assembling a team, finding some blueprints and assigning roles. Shotgun demo guy!
