Description:
It's bolder. Riskier. 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!

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

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Somewhat of a mess
I loved the first one but was confused by the second until I rewatched it a few times. Ocean's 13 is even more confusing and I have NO desire to rewatch this mess of a film. The plot is just way too ridiculous and even more far fetched than the other two films. Also, I felt that the characters didn't really work as a team as in the other films. I just didn't feel like they gave it their all, and were just in it for another paycheck.

Also, I found that the actual dvd quality was terrible. ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Just when I thought I was going to hate this movie...
...I didn't!

Okay, so I made it obvious with my review of `Ocean's Twelve', and before that with my review of `Ocean's Eleven', that I am really disappointed with the way these films have turned out. With such an eclectic cast of big name, highly enjoyable stars you would think that these movies would be nothing short of amazing, but in actuality they have been rather boring, dull and forgettable. They have even lacked any real charm. I mean, these movies star George `king of charm' Clooney, ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - the Brat Pack wins again
This was a pleasant surprise. I found myself laughing out loud, especially at some of the antics of Linus (Matt Damon's character). It was fun to see the crew together again and up to their old tricks. This time the stakes were higher, the technology more sophisticated, and the tricks sneakier. A couple of new characters are thrown into the mix, plus some old characters brought in with new roles. I was expecting a variation on the two previous movies, and to a certain degree this was true, but the whole ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Clever and Entertaining!!
I really enjoy the chemistry of the actors in the prior Oceans movies and 13 is no exception. George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Elliout Gould, Andy Garcia, et. al. have an amazing working relationship. The storyline of Oceans 13 is clever and entertaining. It's well written and has a mix of intrigue, comedy and heart felt emotion. I hope they make a 14.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Movie
"Ocean's Thirteen" is an improvement over "Ocean's Twelve" but still not as good as "Ocean's Eleven," but I would still recommend it to the Ocean's fan.
