Get back to us when Julia Roberts plays someone playing Julia Roberts. The story follows friends Danny Ocean (Clooney) and Rusty Ryan (Pitt), who plan a heist of 160 million from casino owner Terry Benedict (García), the lover of Oceans ex-wife Tess (Roberts). Though we will not liken their work to Argo, since the reality to delusion ratio is even further below two-elevenths - especially since they, too (and unlike Mendez), got caught. We almost prefer the schemers who made up a fake film to steal $4 million in tax credits. So it's a mishmash of two-elevenths of Ocean's Eleven - the Carl Reiner (Saul, in the film) and Eddie Jemison (Livingston) roles, with maybe a hint of George Clooney, since they got caught. No Basher or Yen or Frank or Reuben or Rusty or even Linus (apologies to originalists), since basically all the guys did was hack into the casino's surveillance system from the outside, and then send in real-time betting advice to a high-roller, who was staying in the hotel with his family. Like these guys: As Australia's Herald Sun reports, in an Ocean's Eleven-style scam, a couple of guys stole the equivalent of over $33 million from the Crown Casino in Melbourne. Because when it fails, you'll look a bit foolish. Don't do this at home, in a casino, or to skirt British tax law.
