Jason Bourne dodges a ruthless C.I.A. official and his Agents from a new assassination program while searching for the origins of his life as a trained killer.
An expansion of the universe from Robert Ludlum's novels, centered on a new hero whose stakes have been triggered by the events of the previous three films.
Bond's loyalty to M is tested when her past comes back to haunt her. When MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
After earning 00 status and a licence to kill, Secret Agent James Bond sets out on his first mission as 007. Bond must defeat a private banker funding terrorists in a high stakes game of poker at Casino Royale, Montenegro.
Danny Ocean wants to score the biggest heist in history. He combines an eleven member team, including Frank Catton, Rusty Ryan and Linus Caldwell. Their target?

As Basher Tarr, Don Cheadle - who is American - affected a Cockney (British) accent for this film. Critics slammed him for his accent, and Cheadle himself admitted that it was not very good. In the following two "Oceans" sequels, Basher talks about the importance of a good fake accent with Tess (Julia Roberts), and is ultimately seen reading a book on speech and diction, using it to later effectively "pull off" a passable American accent.

Goofs
Danny claims that casinos are "required by law" to keep enough cash on hand to redeem every chip in play.
Not true. there is in fact a set of "formulas" or "guidelines" for cash to be kept by casinos. It generally involves a certain amount for each type of table game open, plus a certain amount for each slot machine of a certain denomination, etc. See more »

Crazy Credits
In the original DVD release, neither Don Cheadle nor "Basher Tarr" are listed in the end credits. See more »
This re-make of the 1950s classic that starred "The Rat Pack," is a slickly- packaged film and not bad....pretty good, in fact. Yet, with all these stars in here, one can't help but feel this could have been a whole lot better. Boy, this is Liberal heaven with George Clooney, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Elliot Gould, Carl Reiner, etc.
The story is a bit too technical in spots with little time for the viewer to digest the heist plan with all its intricacies. The characters are fun to watch, however. Heist stories are usually fun but make us root for the "bad guys," which is perverse. Overall, okay entertainment but nothing memorable. One thing for sure: it's a whole lot better than the recent sequel.
