I think that this is a love or hate kind of film. So I'm not going to fly in the face of popular opinion, and tell you I loved the first half, and hated the second! Clooney and Pitt have actually managed to form a buddy partnership to almost emulate that of Redford and Newman, and during the stylish and witty first hour, it sparkles. Unfortunately, half way through they are arrested and are never on the screen together again...instead we are presented with Julia Roberts playing Tess playing Julia Roberts, alongside Bruce Willis playing himself purely for the sake of it. Add to this the fact that the clever heist-based plot is replaced by The Pink Panther does Entrapment and it completely flounders. Which is a real shame because up until that point, I was really enjoying it...
