"Nose played", right?? Or, wrong??

Rating: 7/10 (9 June 2007)

OCEANS 13 is NOT THE BEST film of Summer 2007 and despite the tremendous cast, the story seems old, another "hotel heist" in Vegas with top name actors strutting their stuff across the strip. Act One also takes a long time to set up, and by the middle of Act Two, the film begins to pick up and become more exciting and interesting. The film is a great "frat boy" flick, because basically frat boys can watch themselves on the screen and nudge each other with, "awesome, dude". Sorry, but I loved the first OCEANS, the rest just seem like repeats of the first.
However, Elliott Gould is marvelous, with a subtle performance that is fun to watch envelope on the screen, George Clooney superb, as usual, and the rest of the cast do their thing. But, let's put OCEANS out to pasture and come up with the cast in something fresher, away from the glitter and glut of Las Vegas.
