Ocean's Thirteen (2007)


Lot of insistence from my wife finally made us catch Ocean’s 13 and we didn’t regret it. The movie is all heist, high style presentation wonderfully shot and witty, quite enjoyable. The plot starts with Al Pacino (Willy Bank) a Vegas big shot hurting one of the original Ocean’s gang members, leading Ocean to put his team back together for one more heist and target the casino owner Willy Bank, and bring him down.
Pitt & Clooney perform as expected with effortless charm while Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Ellen Barkin, and Al Pacino, as the scrappy villain; hold on their own making the experience worth watching. The sparring between Pitt [Rusty] and Clooney [Ocean] is great, especially when Rusty teases Ocean, referring to the pounds Clooney gained for Syriana. "Keep the weight off," Ocean replies back "Settle down, have a couple of kids," with a real life reference to Pitt & Joile, which can’t be missed.
So just make yourself comfortable in the theater chair and enjoy the movie.
