Plausibility is the first casualty in Ocean's Thirteen but it's unlikely anybody is going to care.

Synopsis: 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... [More]

1 - 20 (sorted by rotten rating; Australian critics are listed first)
Top CriticIt may be way too clever for its own good, yet Ocean's Thirteen has plenty of ring-a-ding-ding.
06/08/07
Top CriticTrapped by the very conventions it created, Ocean's Thirteen is a disappointing fake. One last job? Sure… but it's a hack job.
06/08/07
It's watchable, colorful and intermittently funny, but given the level of talent on display, it's reasonable to want more than that.
06/02/07
There is one small bit of good news about Ocean's Thirteen: it's not as bad as Ocean's Twelve. But when you consider just how dismal the latter was, this nugget will hardly be cause for rejoicing.
06/08/07
What Soderbergh thinks is 'style' looks like a travelogue advertising Hell.
07/11/07
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...
06/11/07
Clooney and Pitt provide plenty of eye candy in 'Ocean's Thirteen,' but this third Ocean's adventure often seems incoherent and listless.
06/12/07
Ultimately, if you give yourself up to its manufactured charm, it all becomes comfortingly familiar.
06/07/07
Thirteen goes back to the basics of slick, empty entertainment. And it leaves you feeling amused yet unfulfilled, so I guess all involved should be congratulated for a job well done. Or, depending how you look at it, slapped.
06/08/07
Ocean's Thirteen is one long set-up for a wholly unsatisfying and impotent climax.
02/28/08
If Ocean's Thirteen often seems as budget-bloated and hollow as a Vegas hotel, it still manages to coast on its surface charms. . . . you may not have hit the jackpot, but you didn't get cleaned out, either.
06/14/07
Creative scheming, in-jokes and movie star charm. That's really all we have here; essentially, this is heist movie porn.
06/08/07
Whereas previous Ocean's films have delighted in crossing their audiences, Thirteen barely tries. And when the clever turns predictable ... well, it's no longer clever.
06/09/07
Why put so much sheen on a movie that warrants and provokes nothing more than mild diversion? It's like serving sloppy joes on fine china.
06/08/07
Personality is noticeably lacking in director Steven Soderbergh's cotton candy caper confection that should, but will not, end his superfluous "Ocean's" franchise.
06/01/07
After a lot of buildup, not much happens at the climax.
06/04/07
Top CriticPlot pieces barely fit, almost nothing is clearly explained, the gizmos and twists are stupid, the wit witless. This movie smokes a fat cigar of assumption, smug that most viewers will need to feel like insiders.
06/07/07
Ocean's Thirteen still feels like one trip too many to the craps table, playing the same hunches, with the outcome unimaginatively clear from the start: Categorical victory for the rascally good guys, utter defeat and humiliation for the villain.
06/06/07
How many times can you keep conning the viewers and get away with it?
