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]

Another spectacle of celebrity narcissism and goofing off which can only be commended for not being quite as unbearable as its thoroughly self-satisfied predecessor.

I wasn't a fan of the previous two pictures in this series, but Ocean's Thirteen qualifies as the first to even approach a winning hand.

Ocean's Thirteen feels mostly like just another job -- not only for the cast and crew, but for critics as well. Audiences will likely find it to be superior to its immediate predecessor, but as in most of the games the Ocean's guys are trying to rig, the

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.

Having suffered a few no-doze moments, I'd comfortably suggest that lovers of hi-roller comedy will not want to miss this roundup of Ocean's adaptive set of schemers.

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.

Ocean's Thirteen shows that summer movies and their attendant presumption of needing to turn one's brain off can still be executed with style and wit.

Actors having a good time plus Soderbergh's style and lush Vegas imagery compensate for the plodding prelude to the heist.

The cast and crew are having a lark, and the mood is infectious rather than insular, as it was in the second film.

Clooney/Pitt are our Sinatra/Martin and we should use them while they're still dapper and dashing and worthy of surname-only reference.
