Ocean's Thriteen
The majority of the cast returns (minus the female leads), and delivers a respectable performance, but it's not quite all there. It's nice that they've returned to Vegas for this one (Europe just didn't seem quite right in the second film), but even with the return to familiar territory (or perhaps because of it) this installment just doesn't have the same spark. The con's in the other two films are out there and rather unbelievable, but this time they seem to take it to a new level. True Terry Benedict assumed that Danny Ocean had robbed his casino, but Ocean at least had a minor alibi. This time, Ocean all but admits to it. That's not a con. That's just stupid. Plus there seems to be way too many schemes going on in this one.
The nice ironic twist was when Benedict suggests they use the same scheme as before, and there's a big no, because you don't use the same con twice. Then, the movie itself turns around and uses the same twist as the second film. Not sure if that was intentional, but I'm hoping it was.
Overall it's a respectable entry to the series, but doesn't compare to the original. If you really want to see an Ocean's movie, go rewatch the original. Sure you may have seen it before (and if you haven't I suggest you do), but then again there isn't all that much new in this one.
RATING: Worth a Cheaper Ticket, Worth a Rental
