Remakes usually suck. Rarely are they even CLOSE to being on the same level with the original. They tend to try to "top" their predecessor and therefore be known as "The Best One". Didn't happen this time. Didn't even come close. With all the publicity about this "great" cast I thought I was really in for a treat. I went in TRYING not to compare the two and it turned out THAT was easy. The two stories are completely different. The only things the same are the name Danny Ocean and the fact that they knock off a Vegas Casino.
George Clooney IS Danny Ocean, a New Jersey Convict just "back from the dead". He comes out of stir with "The Plan" and starts recruiting hours after his release. His first stop is Bernie Mac who never got to use his comedic genius in a small role. Brad Pitt was the standout character with slick and witty lines.
