The most dazzling heist yet. George Clooney Brad Pitt Matt Damon and more reteam with director Steven Soderbergh for a split-second caper that stacks the deck with wit style and cool. Danny Ocean again runs the game so no rough stuff. No one gets hurt. Except for double-crossing Vegas kingpin Willy Bank (Al Pacino). Ocean's crew will hit him where it hurts: in his wallet. On opening night of Bank's posh new casino tower The Bank every turn of a card and roll of the dice will come up a winner for bettors. And they'll hit him in his pride making sure the tower doesn't receive a coveted Five Diamond Award. That's just the start of the flimflams. The boys are out to break The Bank. Place your bets!Running Time: 122 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/CONS & SCAMS UPC: 085391139188 Manufacturer No: 1000023934 Amazon.com: George Clooney is one, Brad Pitt is two, Matt Damon three... well, let's just assume there are 13 collaborators in this installment of Steven Soderbergh's profitable caper franchise. We're back in Las Vegas for Ocean's Thirteen, where the boys plot to shut down the brand-new venture of a backstabbing hotelier (Al Pacino) because the guy double-crossed the now-ailing Reuben (Elliott Gould). If you look at the plot too closely, the entire edifice collapses (hey, how about those Chunnel-digging giant drills?), but Soderbergh conjures up a visual style that swings like Bobby Darin at the Copa. Other than the movie-star dazzle, the main reason to see the film is Soderbergh's uncanny feel for how the widescreen frame can float through the neon spaces of Vegas or sort through groups of characters sitting in hotel rooms talking (he shot the film himself, under his pseudonym Peter Andrews). The film doesn't give enough time to goofballs Casey Affleck and Scott Caan (whose riffs made Ocean's Twelve worth seeing), although it provides comic stuff for a fun roster of actors, including Eddie Izzard, David Paymer, and Bob ("Super Dave") Einstein. Meanwhile, Ellen Barkin makes a fetching assistant for Pacino, and Pacino himself, his hair dyed Trumpian orange, is content to gnaw on some ham for the duration. Biggest puzzle about the two sequels is why George Clooney seems content to retreat from centerstage. Still, his Hemingwayesque conversations with Pitt are an amusing form of male shorthand, and even as the movie overstays its welcome during a long finale, Clooney's easy sense of cool makes it all seem acceptable. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Falls flatSure it looks like Clooney, Pitt and Damon are having a good time, but this one trick pony has been a rotting carcass for some time now. Nothing in this movie is believable. Willie Banks should have been on the look out for these guys the minute he thought about crossing Reuben. No way a man of Danny and Rusty's thieving statures would be able to even walk into a casino. That town doesn't play. Despite a weak plot and bad acting Ocean's 13 is nothing more than sleek man candy and I'm glad I ...

Rating:  - Best of the bunch Everything here works well, if you don't think about it too much (or at all, really). Just sit back and enjoy the silliness. This is great fun, plus it has Al Pacino and Eddie Izzard. Cool. Rating: - Ocean's 13 is a lot better than 12.Ocean's 13 is a lot better than 12. The only reason 12 isn't too good of a movie is because the plot's confusing. It's hard to follow. 12 is hard to follow because in 11, they showed you the plan, then they showed the execution of the plan. In 12, they show you the execution of the plan before they show the plan itself. Not only that, but the plan they show the execution of is a fake one. You have to watch it more than once to fully understand it. I've done this, and now I've realized it's actually ... Read More Rating: - The trilogy concludes on a high note.Well, KIND of a high note. It's better than part two, but not by much. My fascination with this franchise is pretty much over. It was great seeing all those big names onscreen at once. But the stories of part two and three just don't come close to the first one. It's ok and worth a rental, just don't expect to love it the way you loved the first one. |
