And he plans to rob it on a night when 150 million is in it. So they recruit nine guys and they begin to put Ocean's plan in motion. Everything is going well until Rusty discovers that Ocean's ex-wife, Tess is the main squeeze of Terry Benedict the (ruthless) owner of the casinos. Rusty asks him what is he going to do if he has to choose. But Ocean says that if his plan goes smoothly, he is going to be able to have his cake and eat it. IMDB

Review:
A perfect cast.
Dry, witty, funny, flows well and never boring or dull.

I'm not a George Clooney fan and I think he does a great job with this film. I'm not a fan of Julia Roberts either, but she isn't in the movie enough to make it annoying.

The movie is very well directed and produced.
A must-see!
