Description: Danny Ocean
(George Clooney) rounds up the boys for a third heist after casino owner Willy
Bank (Al Pacino) double-crosses on of the original eleven: Rueben Tishkoff
(Elliott Gould).
Review: The story in a nutshell: Danny Ocean and his ream get together to assist
their buddy Rueben Tishkoff, who has been double-crossed by casino boss Willi
Banks. As a result, Rueben has collapsed, is in bed with heart problems and
Danny is furious. Time for revenge. The plan is to bankrupt Banks’ casino
before it officially opens its doors. Let the swindle and sabotage begin…
After a flying start “Ocean’s
Thirteen” collapses after thirty minutes. The different storylines aren’t all
that interesting, characters come and go, and certain things remain
unexplained. But they are back in Las Vegas, like in the first movie. And the
actual execution of the plan feels like old times. And this part was really
fun, enjoyable and exciting.
Does the third film add
something to the series? Not really. The second one also didn’t, but I do
prefer this over “Ocean’s Twelve”. But “Ocean’s Eleven” was the best of the
three and they should have just stuck with that one.
