Editor's Review:
If you think you know your ocean’s series after the first and second parts think again. This movie does not want to fit the description. The idea was probably to make an “its different” movie. You could say they succeeded to a certain extent. The sets were very impressive. I actually believed I was seeing a part of Las Vegas till I saw "the making of the movie" and was told that the whole casino was the imagination of a brilliant art director. This part of the series is filled with dialogues and if you miss out on one of them then you either miss an important scheme or miss out on a joke that was cracked. This is the kind of movie I would rather sit in the comfort of my home and watch. I would definitely miss the grandeur of the sets but when it comes down to movies, I am in, more for the entertainment rather than the sets or costumes. Don’t get me wrong I do know they add to the movie but they are not the movie. If I were to sit at home with a bowl of popcorn and watch Ocean’s 13 then this movie would definitely rank as a favorite right after X-files and CSI. It’s really gripping and can very easily keep ones interest. The larger than life casino and the larger than life plot that they come up with are intriguing. Nothing is ordinary in the movie, from the drills used(leading to some very vulgar humour) to the necklaces. I hadn’t even heard of a 5-diamond rating for a hotel!!! The plan for the heist is complex. This time it involves complex machinery and the group has invested all their money into this one big getting-back-at-you-“Willy Bank”(Al Pacino) idea. Matt Damon is made to romance a lady who looks too old for him. The small Asian guy chooses to demonstrate the uses of CG. Brad Pitt and Clooney did not even bother to leave a mark. Pacino is his flamboyant self, as should a casino owner be and when he is brought down I actually felt sorry for him. Despite all efforts I believe O13 is a better TV movie than a big screen one, except for the grandeur of the sets.
