By that time i was hooked because he directed one of my favorite films Traffic. Then i heard that Steven Soderbiergh was directing. Whenever big hollywood actors are in a movie i always want to see if they're actually making a good movie or if they're just putting them together to make a profit and a bad film.
George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Matt Damon are among Hollywood's elite and the lesser known actors such as Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Scott Caan, and Casey Affleck have made big impressions in other films that they appeared in.
When i first saw trailers for Oceans 11 i was amazed that they could get a cast like that into a film.
