Danny ocean and the rest of the boys are back with a vengeance in this third and hopefully last installment of the oceans series.Soderbergh, well to put it this way,"to say sorry" to all the fans for the weirdness and failure of oceans 12,as a consolation,decided to make oceans 13.all the stars of the previous film are back here except Julia Roberts and Catherine zeta Jones but there's a new addition to the series,the legend "WHOOAA" Al Pacino. Willy bank played by(Pacino),is about to open a new casino in las Vegas.Reuben a member of Danny oceans crew,is bank's partner.for some reason Willy wants to break up the partnership by giving him a goodbye present of 10.000$.Reuben disappointed and insulted by Willy's behavior,suffers a stroke. So Danny and the rest of the crew decide,to hit back on Bank by figuring out a plan to destroy his multi-million business on the casino's opening night.
Oceans 13 is good movie,not as good as 11,but obviously better than 12. the plot is just plain simple nothing special.the problem here is that the movie doesn't cover any new territory,its all been done.
even the great Al Pacino cant make the difference, hes practically given nothing to do throughout the movie,totally wasted and there are times where he does seem bored and tired with the role.actually all the main characters seemed tired.no one stands out.their body language seemed more like:"oww lets just pull off this damn job as quickly as possible,go home and forget it".There is more talking(dribs and drabs) than action and the main problem is the Pace which is to fast not allowing you to catch up with it and understand exactly whats going on.
in all honesty iam not a fan of the oceans series.The only reason why i saw this is because of Al Pacino. otherwise i would of skipped it
as in 12,Andy Garcia again is given no screen time,a few minutes here and there.What was the point in bringing him in???Clooney and Pitt always kept talking...about what exactly???Matt Damon was all over the place..the rest of the crew,most of the time sitting around,playing cards..boy what a waste a time and talent.obviously most of the 89 million budget was used to pay the actors salary.I suppose for the actors this movie was like a walk in the park.sit around,a few jokes,few drinks,a laugh and end with a nice pay check in their pockets.NO problemo!!
its an OK movie.its worth a look.there are some good visuals,and OK scenes.I doubt there will be an Oceans 14,after Clooney stated that 13 would be his last.and from what i gathered from this movie Soderbergh had nothing more to say.But if Soderbergh decides to make another installment in the near future here's a tip.Use Garcia and Pacino in a more satisfactory manner,then bring in Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci as the bad guys.Just an idea.
my vote 6/10.
