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]

Director: Steven Soderbergh
The smug "It's our party and you're not invited" vibe of the second film is gone, replaced by a fizzy sense of shady glamour that makes an insanely complicated story of scams and swindles go down as smoothly as an ice-cold Bellini.
With Ocean’s Thirteen, the gang’s all here, looking fighting trim and Hollywood beautiful, at your disposable pleasure.
Top CriticOcean's Thirteen will please those who delight in its persistent self-mythologizing, but the thrill of the original is gone, and nothing can bring it back.
Top CriticSurrendering to Ocean's 13's pleasurable surfaces is sort of like admitting your attraction to a luxury brand: Sure, those alligator loafers are extravagant nonsense, but they feel so nice on your feet.
It's more apparent than ever that Soderbergh, Clooney, and company don't care -- and that sense of gleeful nonchalance is contagious.
It took a really weak sequel to realize what a long shadow Ocean's Eleven cast, and it's still present here.
Just so you know -- because this is important when you're talking to fans of George Clooney's charming thief Danny Ocean -- it's an hour and 15 minutes into Ocean's Thirteen before he appears in a tux.
Ocean's 11's easy chemistry and effortless style return alongside the let's-take-down-a-casino plot.
The details, the plots, the stratagems, the counter-stratagems mount and mount and mount until the thing reaches a point of such overplotted density it can't be penetrated.
Top CriticEvocatively shot with the saturated color of '60s film and accompanied by David Holmes' retro-mod score, Ocean's Thirteen is a boy's-night-out lark that girls can enjoy.
Ocean's Thirteen is as lazy and laid-back as a softball game with the beer keg at second. And it's just as enjoyable.
Despite a few diverting and modestly amusing moments, Thirteen doesn't match the 2001 comic-caper remake Ocean's Eleven. And the whole hipper, cooler, more clever formula is starting to wear thin.
The sleek script makes gleeful use of expository dialogue, building ludicrous situations and winding its way out again.
The most enjoyable thing about the Ocean's movies is that nobody involved seems to take them seriously. The star wattage is immense but the stars themselves are refreshingly self-deprecating, almost satirically so.
It was more fun when they were a little bit hungry and more than a little bit greedy. Let's hope they remember that before the next one.
Danny Ocean and company ought to seriously consider retirement.
To call the Ocean's films frivolous would be kind, implying that these arduous concoctions are somehow light on their proverbial feet.
Better looking than Shrek the Third, less convoluted than Pirates 3 and as satisfying as Spider-Man 3.
A sequel (or three-quel, if you will) that returns to the vicarious fun of the first movie, Ocean's Eleven, and all but erases the not-so-fond memory of the preening ego-trip that was Ocean's Twelve.
Ultimately, if you give yourself up to its manufactured charm, it all becomes comfortingly familiar.
