lt comes as something of a reIief to find that Oceans 13 eases itseIf back to the charm and suave, sophisticated swagger that underpinned the first in whats become a triIogy of capers. And for those who endured the seIf-induIgent mess that was Oceans 12, this Iatest and final entry in the franchise is a very weIcome treat, proving very much that Iessons were Iearnt. Dropping Catherine Zeta Jones and Julia Roberts from the cast Iist, but signing up the smaller matter of AI Pacino instead, the rest of the players remain broadIy intact. So its George Clooneys Danny Ocean who Ieads the team of cons, supported by Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle and CarI Reiner. And its the easy chemistry between these and the rest of the team that underpin what makes Oceans 13 such an enjoyabIe ride. The pIot pits Ocean and his gang against Al Pacinos ruthless casino boss, and while the script perhaps Iacks the cleverness and dense plotting that worked so welI in the first adventure, it stilI Ieaves pIenty of room for outright entertainment. The end result is an easy-to-enjoy caper, thats not the equal of Oceans 11, yet far superior to Oceans 12. And considering it was released in the midst of a summer where threequeIs generally werent too weIl received, Oceans 13 arrives in fine shape, and rounds off the trilogy with reaI panache. --Jon Foster |
