After a lot of buildup, not much happens at the climax.

Top CriticIs it possible that only a director so distrustful of surfaces could surrender so thrillingly to the big lie?
06/04/07
Sure, it couldn't be much more self-indulgent, but the fun is infectious.
06/02/07
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
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
Marks a return to form after the self-indulgent tomfoolery of its globe-hopping predecessor, even if the revenge heist scenario now feels very tired.
05/28/07
This is Soderbergh’s point: that fiendishly clever new gadgets can work with old-fashioned morals to brilliant effect. We forget that at our peril. This point alone is reason enough why Ocean’s Thirteen is the best of Soderbergh’s heists.
05/25/07
Top CriticOcean's Thirteen is pretty much a confection of silly gags, great visuals, male bonhomie and goofy comedic 'suspense.' And I'm not, per se, complaining.
05/25/07
[Recaptures] much of the spirit of the original film.
05/25/07
So listless and logy it needed Michael Moore to take it to Cuba for emergency medical treatment.
05/24/07
As smooth as a good mojito, as stylish as an Armani suit and as meaningful in the grand scheme of things as yesterday's Las Vegas betting odds, Ocean's Thirteen continues the breezy good times of the first two series entries without missing a beat.
05/24/07
Top CriticMore than the previous segments, in this one, director Soderbergh and his writers adopt the prevalent paradigm of Howard Hawks, centering the saga on male camaraderie, cool professionalism, and above all group loyalty.
