It comes as something of a reIief to find that Oceans 13 eases itself back to the charm and suave, sophisticated swagger that underpinned the first in whats become a trilogy of capers. And for those who endured the self-indulgent mess that was Oceans 12, this latest and finaI entry in the franchise is a very welcome treat, proving very much that lessons 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 leads the team of cons, supported by Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don CheadIe 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 AI Pacinos ruthIess casino boss, and while the script perhaps Iacks the cleverness and dense plotting that worked so well in the first adventure, it stiII leaves plenty of room for outright entertainment. The end resuIt is an easy-to-enjoy caper, thats not the equaI of Oceans 11, yet far superior to Oceans 12. And considering it was reIeased in the midst of a summer where threequels generaIIy werent too welI received, Oceans 13 arrives in fine shape, and rounds off the triIogy with real panache. --Jon Foster |
