Amazon.co.uk Review

It comes as something of a relief to find that Ocean’s 13 eases itself back to the charm and suave, sophisticated swagger that underpinned the first in what’s become a trilogy of capers. And for those who endured the self-indulgent mess that was Ocean’s 12, this latest and final entry in the franchise is a very welcome treat, proving very much that lessons were learnt.

Dropping Catherine Zeta Jones and Julia Roberts from the cast list, but signing up the smaller matter of Al Pacino instead, the rest of the players remain broadly intact. So it’s George Clooney’s Danny Ocean who leads the team of cons, supported by Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle and Carl Reiner. And it’s the easy chemistry between these and the rest of the team that underpin what makes Ocean’s 13 such an enjoyable ride.

The plot pits Ocean and his gang against Al Pacino’s ruthless casino boss, and while the script perhaps lacks the cleverness and dense plotting that worked so well in the first adventure, it still leaves plenty of room for outright entertainment.

The end result is an easy-to-enjoy caper, that’s not the equal of Ocean’s 11, yet far superior to Ocean’s 12. And considering it was released in the midst of a summer where threequels generally weren’t too well received, Ocean’s 13 arrives in fine shape, and rounds off the trilogy with real panache. --Jon Foster



Synopsis

The third installment of Steven Soderbergh's slick, star-studded heist series just might be the best, as Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and company pull off another elaborate caper, this time in the name of revenge. Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), one of Ocean's original eleven, lies nearly comatose after a myocardial infarction brought on by shock. His dreams of regaining his former glory on the Vegas strip have been dashed by the dastardly Willie Bank (Al Pacino), with whom Reuben foolishly went into business to build the biggest and flashiest casino the the world has ever seen. Bank took Reuben for all he was worth, and now, the famously loyal thirteen won't rest until Bank has been brought down. They execute this noble cause through complex, daring, and brilliant machinations that make the most of everyone's talents, including Yen's (Shaobo Qin) acrobatics, Linus's (Matt Damon) acting abilities, and Basher's (Don Cheadle) heavy machinery. Virgil and Turk Malloy (Casey Affleck and Scott Caan) get a few hilarious moments as they brew up a revolution in a Mexican plastics plant, while Rusty (Brad Pitt) and Danny coolly preside over the action like omniscient, infallible deities, always about three steps ahead of the game. The villain's downfall is utterly satisfying due to the pure capitalist evil channelled by Pacino, while Ellen Barkin vamps it up as Bank's "cougar" of an assistant. The camaraderie of the thirteen lends heart to these cool criminals, best captured by the sappy letters Basher sends Reuben, which ultimately bring him back to life. Vegas is effectively captured through seamless editing and beautiful photography, with the trappings of uber-wealth making the fantasy even more fantastical.

1.0 out of 5 stars 'The moment you become embarrassed of who you are you lose yourself', 26 Oct 2008
A trite line from the film but one which resonates as it sums up the whole experience. You know those dire, bland early 70s films where a lot goes off and nothing happens, time seems to drag on forever and you begin to stare oblivion in the face? Ocean's 13 pays perfect homage to these movies.

Even Vincent Cassell has had any semblance of character drained from him. Julian Sands, the patron saint of bad movies, turns up to officially declare it a turkey. I can't help but think that this was all deliberate on Soderbergh's part to ensure the studio didn't ask him to make any more. Ocean's 11 & 12 might only have been what Hitchcock would have described as 'baubles' but they were at least entertaining.

4.0 out of 5 stars Our first Ocean, 18 Aug 2007
By R. Plachcinski "stroppy_brunette" (West Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ocean's Thirteen is actually the first Ocean film we saw, one rainy Sunday afternoon in the cinema, and it inspired us to watch the rest of the series. Although it starts slowly, the tension builds as the heist grows ever more elaborate, with the cinema audience so still for the last hour you could have heard a pin drop. Well worth a look.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bottom of the Ocean, 30 Sep 2008
By A. J. Martin (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I watched Ocean 11 (which I thought was good) but couldnt remember if I had seen Ocean 12. I watched Ocean 13 last night and its utter tripe! Its soooooooo predictable, the characters are too arrogant and smug to care about. They buy 2 channel tunnel diggers for about $60m (yeah right!) and transport them to the US and dig under Vegas (yeah right!). The acting is wooden, the film is one dimensional, there is no tension, no sense of will they pull it off or not and no sense of danger to the gang. Al Pacino isnt nearly menacing enough. Verdict : dont bother!

Oh, I remembered I havent seen Ocean 12 but I dont think I've missed anything.
