Ocean 13 (Review)

These is the 3rd installment to the famous Ocean. Now it's done I hope. The Highlight to making it huge seems to be solely on Al Pacino as in the last Ocean 12 with Julia Roberts. But guess what...it's not the big Al's finest. Actually it was no ones finest but all done so effortlessly. So those who have watched the first two would love it. Why? It sticks to the concept. In terms of storyline...basically it's a revenge plot with a bit of attitude and class with lots of smart play and planning. It's not bad but it's nothing great in that respect.

But lets just put it a such that the soundtrack is classic. Full of swagger and taste. The actors are all accomplished. But it gels so well and everyone has equal amounts of importance. Take Brad Pitt he simply sails through the scenes...with hardly any lines. Clooney has this trademark smirk and rolling eyes. Well...basically every did such a good job that perhaps the movie will still be understood without the script. Owh and the reference through Oprah was a classic moment between 2 good actors. Might it be said that emotions and the play of wits scores high in this one. Caution....do watch the first 2 movies to truly enjoy this third installment. Coz when I went most of the good jokes went unnoticed by the majority of the viewers. Perhaps we Malaysians are more to slapstick and dumb jokes.
