Oceans Thirteen
Rating = C-
Roger Ebert's review
of this movie is correct. Traditionally, in heist movies the audience
is brought into the picture about how the heist is supposed to happen.
But in this movie no one but the characters in the movie knows
the plan, and they change the plan in the blink of any eye, no matter
what the stated cost and with no apparent effort. The movie is
completely silly (not to mention totally contrived and without an
ounce of realism), although the it looks good some of the time.
I liked both of the previous two movies in this series -- this
episode is not in their class.
