The third installment of Steven Soderbergh's slick, star-studded heist series just might be the best, as Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and company pull off another elaborate caper, this time in the name of revenge. Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), one of Ocean's original eleven, lies nearly comatose after a myocardial infarction brought on by shock. His dreams of regaining his former glory on the Vegas strip have been dashed by the dastardly Willie Bank (Al Pacino), with whom Reuben foolishly went into business to build the biggest and flashiest casino the the world has ever seen. Bank took Reuben for all he was worth, and now, the famously loyal thirteen won't rest until Bank has been brought down. They execute this noble cause through complex, daring, and brilliant machinations that make the most of everyone's talents, including Yen's (Shaobo Qin) acrobatics, Linus's (Matt Damon) acting abilities, and Basher's (Don Cheadle) heavy machinery. Virgil and Turk Malloy (Casey Affleck and Scott Caan) get a few hilarious moments as they brew up a revolution in a Mexican plastics plant, while Rusty (Brad Pitt) and Danny coolly preside over the action like omniscient, infallible deities, always about three steps ahead of the game. The villain's downfall is utterly satisfying due to the pure capitalist evil channelled by Pacino, while Ellen Barkin vamps it up as Bank's "cougar" of an assistant. The camaraderie of the thirteen lends heart to these cool criminals, best captured by the sappy letters Basher sends Reuben, which ultimately bring him back to life. Vegas is effectively captured through seamless editing and beautiful photography, with the trappings of uber-wealth making the fantasy even more fantastical. [More]

If Ocean's 13 could treat theaters like clubs then they'd place bouncers at the doors so that only the cool people would be let in. That would definitely cut into profits but it would be in keeping with how the film would like to brand itself...

Ugly. Filmed through dirt. Danny’s Dead End Kids infiltrate bin Laden’s camp and hold him ransom for some old dude who rescued them from an orphanage.

All the reasons that I didn't like the first two installments in the Ocean's series were the elements that worked for me this time around.

The sleek script makes gleeful use of expository dialogue, building ludicrous situations and winding its way out again.

There's actually a coherent script, and there are some real laughs. Not big laughs, mind you, but a fairly steady stream of smiles and chuckles. And their newest caper is, as expected, fiendishly complex and outlandishly executed.

Can audiences still be entertained by this baker's dozen beating unbeatable adversaries, breaking unbreakable safes, or crashing uncrashable security systems? I still am.

The suits are sleek, the dialogue snappy, the tone wry, the jazz hip. Even Las Vegas--bastion of neon kitsch that it is--looks opulently graceful.

All told, this thing has to be one of the dullest caper movies ever made.

A pastry of a movie, airy, insubstantial, and meant to fill in the gaps between heartier meals.

Though "Ocean's Thirteen" sticks to Las Vegas, rather than the lush palazzos of European cities, the atmosphere is still a privileged one where our heroes carry out another ultra-hip caper.

These actors have the characters they play down pat, and as long as they come up with some reason to pull off a heist, I'll be watching.

Ocean's Thirteen is cool, hilarious and fun beyond all expectations. A fitting extension of the Ocean's gang story, and the perfect way to spend your movie-going evening, living life in the shoes of those smarter, wittier and way cooler than you.

While it in no critical area improves upon the magic of its deliriously watchable original installment, it's flashier and funnier than expected.

Ocean's Thirteen is the first sequel of the summer of 2007 not to fall on its face. The film is better paced and more involving than Ocean's Twelve but perhaps not as well executed as Ocean's Eleven.

In Hollywood's version of Vegas, I'll have the surf, and the turf, and the vegetarian, and anything else Soderbergh wants to serve me.

Third time’s a charm. Ocean's Thirteen outshines the second installment, offering that certain breezy fun the original provided. Those cutie pies just work better in Vegas.

Fantastically smug, empty picture, which comes complete with a nasty-tasting dab of misogyny.

If it ran five minutes longer it would cross the line from amusing to annoying. But it doesn't.
