Ocean's 11 (1960)
Before George Clooney and chums there was Sinatra and the Rat Pack who made the original heist film of the same name. Five casinos in Las Vegas are the target of a group of WW2 veterans in this crime caper.
After seeing this original it is hard to see why anyone decided to make a remake as the film it self is fairly bland at best. With a run time of over two hours the film feels too long, a lot of time is spent on getting the gang together when actually most of them do not really have unique characters and the heist itself is not especially tense. There are some funny moments and interplay between the main characters but this only just about papers over the cracks of a distinctly average plot and execution of the film.
3/5 not really worth looking out.
