Ocean’s thirteen might just be the ocean’s triology’s best movie yet. Everyone loved Ocean’s Eleven, it was quircky, fast paced & very slick , something which are much used to for a Soderbergh movie. Oceans’s twelve had a sort of a mixed response , though it did really well at the box office setting up for another sequel in the ocean’s franchise.
 
We assume everyone who walks into this movie has seen the earlier ones , atleast an ocean’s eleven watch is a must to get the feel of the charachters , the subtle humour which does comprise of a lot of in-jokes, probably ocean’s twelve too since vincet cassel makes an appearance here which does have its own angle to it.
 
Besides the ocean’s regulars, we have al pacino here as well who just adds in to more fun in this ocean’s franchise. Andy garcia was a great nemisis & he makes an appearnce here as well , but pacino’s indimidating glare & menace is something no other actor can match.
The chemistry between pitt & clooney is amazing again & so is the rest of the cast. What’s missing here are the female leads julia roberts & catherine zeta jones. Ellen Barkin as the nasty aide of Al Pacino is the only female in this cast. Matt damon has his moments though it does seem like he couldve been used a lot more.
 
The plotline in this one isnt as complicated as ocean’s eleven but thoroughly enjoyable at that.
The casino rig is played out to perfection here. Many people do accuse soderbergh of overstylising the movie, some even go to the extent of calling it more style over substance. But the syllizing is essential for a con/hiest movie where one always feels like been there seen that. This year’s hyped up CGI infested blockbusters failed to deliver their promise & almost killed their franchises, Ocean keeps it very much alive.
 
All in all its a must watch if you have been following the franchise & even if you havent , you’d still love this fast paced con movie (although a very light one at that)
