---|---|---|---|
United States | Variety | "A lark for everybody concerned, including the audience (...) this lightweight caper doesn't take itself seriously and hardly expects the viewer to do so either" | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "A champagne bubble of a movie, lively, effervescent and diverting" | POS |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "It didn't shake me up and I wasn't much involved, but I liked it as a five-finger exercise (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" | POS |
United States | USA Today | "Despite dashes of droll dialogue from screenwriter Ted Griffin, the remake aims for cool but instead gets chilly (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" | POS |
United States | The New York Observer | "It's extremely confusing, but you quickly learn to ignore the details and just watch the glam cast have fun" | POS |
United States | Chicago Reader | "A pretty good caper comedy for 11-year-old boys -- 'heist thriller' would make it sound too ambitious" | NEU |
United States | Miami Herald | "There is considerable pleasure to be had watching a Hollywood formula crowd-pleaser, no matter how irreverent, that's been made with intelligence, wit and style" | POS |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "[It's] made with so much wit and brains and dazzle and virtuosity that the sheer speed and cleverness of the caper hits you like a shot of pure oxygen" | POS |
United States | The Wall Street Journal | "Depends on comic timing so precise that it seems weightless and all but effortless. And it depends on performers, of course, who can do a comic turn just as readily as a deft writer can turn a phrase" | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "Sleek, well-muscled and brisk, director Steven Soderbergh's newest offering delivers just about everything anyone could possibly want from filmed entertainment -- except deep thought." | POS |
United States | Boston Globe | "It's slick, sleek, and stylish, and if it doesn't quite redefine cool, it certainly offers a snazzy update." | POS |
United States | LA Weekly | "The most purely entertaining movie to come out of Hollywood so far this year, and if that doesn't seem worthy of Soderbergh's talents, it's worthy enough for a night's amusement" | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "Soderbergh rallies a seismic jolt of enthusiasm, and the movie is an elating blaze of flair and pride" | POS |
