A Guy Film

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2008)

Women always look at the action-heavy movies and say, "Hey, that's such a guy film." But it's not. You see, Ocean's really captures what I think every guy desires. To go out, break some rules, make some money, and most importantly, hang with your boys.
The film is casted with the best "cool guys" there are. Brad PItt and Geroge Clooney make suave look easy, and Matt Damon has really grown into this role. Don Cheadle and Eddie Izzard turn out great performances, and the banter between the "Malloy twins" is stuff that makes comedy funny. The heist in this film is the best yet, because you can truly root for the good guys. In a turn from the other Ocean's films, the crew is NOT robbing but rather liberating the money from WIllie Bank, played by Al Pacino. It's revenge more than robbery, and Pacino's character deserves to be hated.
The music, as always, is stunning. I always feel like the mood is captured at an Ocean's film through the amazing soundtrack.
My only complaint about this movie: Al Pacino. The man is past his acting prime. It's a sad sight to see, but it's true. While he does turn out a decent performance, the fact of the matter is that he says every line the same way.
But Ocean's Thirteen is great, and should be watched again and again.
