Slick return to form for the Ocean's series

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2007)

After a pretty poor offering in Ocean's 12, the team have gone back to basics with this third film in the series. Danny Ocean and the usual suspects team up to try and swindle slimy casino baron Al Pacino, but this time it ain't just about the money. They want revenge after he'd betrayed their friend in a business deal. The whole movie was lively and snappy, not dragging at any point. Mixing humour with oodles of cool, it was all very entertaining. The twist involving Andy Garcia lending them money was a bit unrealistic, but made for a fun plot. Some of the card tricks etc were nothing we haven't seen before, but so what? A good film with plenty of action and plenty of laughs. Al Pacino was a bit over-the-top, but that suited the movie and it was good to see him back in a top-line picture after a couple of recent duds. Check it out.
