2001 | Action, Comedy, Drama
2001 star-studded remake of the Rat Pack original, with Clooney and Bard Pitt (eating or chewing something in every. single. scene. he is in) as two crooks - the former just out of jail - who plan and lead an elaborate heist on a Las Vegas casino.

Can definitely see the influence of the original in the cinematography!

2019 | Adventure, Animation, Family
Disney's continuing attempt to plunder and CGI-ize their old properties continues with this, the remake of the 1994 original and released 25 years later.

There's no denying that it is technically and visually impressive; however it lacks a certain something compared to the animated original.

The performances are universally strong (4 more)
Stylish, patient direction
Understated when most films would go big
Unlike "Baby Driver", which has many similarities with this film, the central relationship is never suggested to be anything more than some casual relationship that gives the main character a chance at redemption
Carey Mulligan is as luminous as ever
It's about as deep as a puddle in a parking lot (1 more)
It is generally very overrated
A good, yet unacknowledged, remake of "The Driver"
Well, it's a remake of Walter Hill's "The Driver". Not officially, sure, but it just is. It annoys me that this was never really acknowledged, but it's a good one, so there's that.

Otherwise, it's a flimsy, but good little crime thriller that's generally overrated. Shouldn't stop anyone from seeing it though.
