The action starts with the opening scene so there’s never a chance for it to slow down.

Soderbergh can no more put the fizz back in his flat bubbly than one can put a genie back in a bottle, but at least Ocean's Thirteen can still give you a light buzz.
06/07/07
You can beat the house and you can break the bank, but sequels always get long odds on defeating the law of diminishing returns -- yet Ocean’s Thirteen just about pulls it off.

Top CriticOcean's Thirteen is cool, hilarious and fun beyond all expectations. A fitting extension of the Ocean's gang story, and the perfect way to spend your movie-going evening, living life in the shoes of those smarter, wittier and way cooler than you.
06/06/07
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
There's actually a coherent script, and there are some real laughs. Not big laughs, mind you, but a fairly steady stream of smiles and chuckles. And their newest caper is, as expected, fiendishly complex and outlandishly executed.
06/06/07
Ocean's Thirteen is the first sequel of the summer of 2007 not to fall on its face. The film is better paced and more involving than Ocean's Twelve but perhaps not as well executed as Ocean's Eleven.
06/06/07
pure entertainment, [as] bright and shiny as perfectly restored vintage neon
06/06/07
an embarrassment of riches as A-List movie stars saunter through the film in elegant suits and a rapscallion wink.
06/06/07
Sometimes -- albeit not very often in the movie world -- three really is a charm. ... Soderbergh gets lucky and comes up with a real winner.
06/06/07
Most of the formula from the first movie has been rehashed without recapturing much of the magic or pizzazz, making this sequel more like 'Ocean by Numbers.'
06/06/07
[A] delectably elaborate and savory soufflé of a mother-of-all-scams sequel.
06/06/07
A spectacle blatantly predicated on a smug gaggle of mega movie stars in boss threads ostentatiously having fun by pretending to steal the house's money, while actually taking yours.
06/06/07
Because Soderbergh keeps things so simple, stripped-down, and straight to the point, Ocean's Thirteen is the best Ocean's movie so far.
06/06/07
Summer fun with a safety net.
06/06/07
Bright and glitzy but ultimately ephemeral and rather silly, featherweight sleight-of-hand without much of a payoff.
06/05/07
Can audiences still be entertained by this baker's dozen beating unbeatable adversaries, breaking unbreakable safes, or crashing uncrashable security systems? I still am.
06/05/07
As ever the chemistry between the lads -- especially Clooney and Pitt -- keeps the rhythm snappy, and this time, the emphasis on friendship and loyalty makes them easy to root for.
