Better than the second , not as good as the original

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 2007)

Refused to go see this at the cinema due to the bad taste still in my mouth from "Oceans Twelve".
The premise of 13 is pretty simple. Reuben (Gould), the gang's buddy casino owner has just been shafted in a deal with hotshot casino owner Banks (Pacino). The gang wants revenge, and so sets out to make every gambler a winner on the new casino's opening night by rigging all the machines. Forget how totally implausible this is and just enjoy the banter and charisma of the showcase of Hollywood stars in the movie, most notably Clooney, Pitt and Damon. Most of the characters seem to have no more than 100 words of dialogue and 15 minutes of screen time. It's OK, but the idea has kinda been done to death. A few good laughs, but not worth adding to your collection.
