I bought this film because I had seen the first two & liked them. This was a great installment. Again, a must see if you haven't alreday.
Plot: After their old chum Reuben Tischkoff (Gould) is double-crossed in a business deal and hospitalised, Danny Ocean (Clooney) reconvenes his charming gang of thieves and heads to Las Vegas to gain revenge on the man who put Ruben at death's door: shark-like hotelier, Willy Bank (Pacino). Their plan is simple: break the Bank by destroying his new multi-billion dollar hotel. However, it won't be that easy... My Review: It's good to note that sequels are not always as good as its predecessors, its could be down to the fact that the experience involves watching so many A-list stars having a whale of a time, whilst you sit at home bored senseless. This time the last inclusive heist finishes the trilogy with a smooth and slick close. Ocean's Eleven was a grand affair, new styles and overflowing with cool that really brought back the classic hustling movies with a touch more modern crust. Ocean's Twelve felt like...well...futile! Incomplete and a fairly uninteresting stop-gap to make way for this finale that has more prominence. This time, Thirteen occasionally feels like a two-hour make-up for the all the French canoodling of Twelve, with less smug and more focus onto the gang themselves (no love interests here; Catherine Zeta-Jones and Julia Roberts despondently unavailable.) Newcomer Eddie Izzard takes the flight of fancy as electronics genius Roman Nagel, with the heist already meticulously and ingenuously underway, receives a very detailed briefing from Danny (George Clooney) and Rusty (Brad Pitt), who have become seriously stuck in their efforts to break 'The Bank', Willy Banks' (Al Pacino) hotel-casino. It's wreathed in flashbacks enclosed in more flashbacks, the camera-work is a bit shadowy and occasionally shot in dim-lit rooms. The plot becomes Byzantine and hard to follow as the first hour is the set-up for the bright and breezy ending. This time, dir. Soderbergh ensures that the second half of the movie is bright, slick, ravishing and opulently entertaining. Jazzed up camera-work gets underway, performances get spruced up and the movie climaxes towards its conclusion as the complicated plots and subplots all coalesce to work well as clockwork, with twists upon twists, punch line following punch line and big pay-off pursuing even bigger pay-off. The third outing gives us all the belated lightness of touch to a sighed and blessed relief that works well. The result is the first genuinely enjoyable movie, Ocean's Thirteen is about gloss and glitz. Verdict: Sharp and witty. Funny and slick; more entertaining than it's predecessor. 7.5/10.Read full review
This is the 3rd film in the trilogy and the least likable. I found the plot a bit weak eventhough it had Al Pacino replacing the two women. Forone I'm glad they got rid of Julia Roberts as her acting abilities are lacking and weak. The plot starts with Ocean's team against Al Pacino, a ruthless casino boss, and while the script perhaps lacks the cleverness and dense plotting that worked so well in the first adventure and second, it still leaves plenty of room for an enjoyable story.The third installment of Steven Soderbergh's slick, star-studded heist series stars as Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and company pulling off another elaborate caper, this time in the name of revenge. Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould),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. Bank took Reuben for all he was worth, and now, the famously loyal thirteen won't rest until Bank has been brought down. I love the french guy {The Night Fox} in the 2nd movie, he even turns up in this 3rd film but only as a cameo part. It did not do him justice. The end result is an easy go and enjoyable caper, that’s not the equal of Ocean’s 11 or 12 but arrives in good shape, and rounds off the trilogy.Read full review
Danny Ocean rounds up the boys for a third heist, after casino owner Willy Bank double-crosses one of the original eleven, Reuben Tishkoff.
