Oceans Thirteen
Rating = C-
Roger Ebert's review of this
movie is correct. Traditionally, in heist movies the audience is
brought into the picture about how the heist is supposed to happen. But
in this movie no one but the characters in the movie knows the plan,
and they change the plan in the blink of any eye, no matter what the
stated cost and with no apparent effort. The movie is completely silly
(not to mention totally contrived and without an ounce of realism),
although the it looks good some of the time. I liked both of the
previous two movies in this series — this episode is not in their
class.
