Consensus: Ocean's Thirteen reverts to the formula of the first installment, and the result is another slick and entertaining heist film.

Runtime: 2 hrs 2 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

US Box Office: $117,096,871

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]

Funny, finely-tuned and flashier than an Essex boy on a night out in Romford . . . GO SEE!

doesn't add anything new to its routine equation but a hundred and thirteen minutes pass swiftly and fourteen actors have a good time -- an enjoyable, disposable lark

Unfortunately, with the arrival of Ocean's Thirteen, it's beginning to seem that the spectacle of A-list salaries on parade may not be enough to sustain the series much longer.

You know it's one sequel too many, well, actually two sequels too many, when Brad Pitt and George Clooney start finishing each other's sentences while strolling down the Vegas strip and reminiscing on the good ole days.

But while it’s an improvement on the last movie, Ocean’s 12, it’s not quite in the same league as the first film, Ocean’s 11, principally because the storyline is the same and the sheer buzz of seeing so many megastars sharing the same screen has worn off

Thematically, though, this is an improvement on its forebears, mainly due to the way it deals – much like Scorsese’s best work – with the archaic nature of the criminal set.

Trapped by the very conventions it created, Ocean's Thirteen is a disappointing fake. One last job? Sure… but it's a hack job.

It's a lot better than Twelve, and even though it doesn't quite go to Eleven, at least it comes close enough.

It's probably not 'better' than the first movie, but I'll predict those who found the second one lacking will applaud the return to form.

'Ocean's Thirteen' is pure escapist fare that hits no jackpot, but pays off better than 'Ocean's Twelve.'

Overall, the movie is OK enough ... but doesn't have the energy, excitement and fun of the first film

Soderbergh and company have said this is the last Ocean's film, and it should be - they finally got it right. Anything that comes after will only tarnish the cocktail hour perfection of this movie.

Ocean's Thirteen plays to known quantities, but with a graceful sense of ease and a sparkly smile a mile wide...one of the best cinema experiences of the year.

It's an OK revenge pic but Dan Klores's revenge movie, 'Crazy Love,' costs 1/400th of the price to make, and is a superior film.
