A man who just got out of jail, got a group of eleven people together to rob a casino in Las Vegas and managed to get away with it. Stephen Soderbergh managed to get the audience to root for this bunch of thieves by using different techniques to capture the audience’s attention and distract them from questioning the moral implications of the film. Furthermore, by making the crime victim a wealthy but evil casino owner, Stephen Soderbergh makes sure that there would be no sympathy felt for him. He uses star-studded cast shows Soderbergh’s for the film showing his directorial brilliance but as the film has thirteen prominent actors, it didn’t have time to develop each character extensively. Besides, this wasn’t what the film was supposed to be about; it was supposed to be about robbing a casino, not the emotions of its characters. However, motivations other than monetary reasons to rob the casino made a distinction between the motives of the thieves and the greed of the casino that got rich by forcing an old man out of business.
