if (2024)

George Clooney plays Spaceman and Brad Pitt plays Keith

Brad Pitt is listed in the credits for if, So he’s technically one of Clooney’s co-stars, but the truth isn’t that straightforward. George Clooney voices Spaceman, an imaginary friend with the appearance of an astronaut, possibly as a subtle reference to his role in Gravity. Brad Pitt’s role in If is very strange. He is credited as Keith, a silent and invisible imaginary friend with a habit of tripping Ryan Reynolds’ character. The character of Keith is a reference to Brad Pitt’s cameo in another Ryan Reynolds movie. He plays Vanisher in Deadpool 2An invisible superhero who shows his face for a split second.

Whether this credit counts as another collaboration between Pitt and Clooney is questionable at best. It’s more of a joke for Ryan Reynolds fans who know about the joke in Deadpool 2. Regardless, If Boasting an all-star cast with or without Pete. The cast did not translate into too many positive reviews, however, with critics dismayed by the complex and meandering plot. If Still a serious sweetness, and it can connect with anyone in search of their inner child, but it’s not the most original children’s story by any stretch.

Ocean’s Twelve (2004)

George Clooney plays Danny Ocean and Brad Pitt plays Rusty Ryan

After the exhilarating heights of Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve is a predictably difficult sequel. There’s a good reason heist movies don’t usually have sequels, because the big score feels like such a triumphant finale. After Danny and his team get away with their dirty Las Vegas job at the end of ocean’s eleven, There is no need for a continuation of the story. Ocean’s Twelve Was created due to the financial success and the popularity of the first movieAnd not because the characters had much more life in them.

It would have been easy to try and repeat the same formula from the first movie, however Steven Soderbergh takes some admirable swings in Ocean’s Twelve. The story follows the gang across several exotic European locations as they attempt to pull off a pair of seemingly impossible heists while competing with another master thief. Pitt’s character gets a new love interest, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, but the focus remains on his dynamic with Clooney’s Danny Ocean.

The role of Pacino does not quite make up for the absence of Julia RobertsHowever. Tess goes from being the object of Danny’s desires in the first movie to being part of the team in the sequel. It would be interesting to see her take on more responsibility Ocean’s ThirteenBut Soderbergh had other ideas. Ocean’s Thirteen Still has enough fun butterflies and exciting action to make it a crowd-pleasing end to the trilogy. After the modest success of ocean 8, The franchise is kept alive with Ann Ocean’s Eleven Prequel starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.

Ocean’s Eleven is one of the best heist movies of all time, and it inspired many imitators throughout the 2000s and 2010s. George Clooney and Brad Pitt decided to do the impossible – remake a Rat Pack movie with even more style – and they pulled it off.

Although the other nine members of the band have their own charms, none of them shine quite like the lead duo.

Steven Soderbergh’s slick direction oozes cool, though Ocean’s Eleven Has enough substance to go with its style. The twisty story sets up an elaborate hoax with interaction with Rube Goldberg.
