OCEAN'S 13 (BRAD PITT, GEORGE CLOONEY, AL PACINO, MATT DAMON;2007)


IN THE THIRD INSTALLMENT OF A FRANCHISE THAT SHOULD'VE STOPPED AT THE FIRST, THE HIGHEST PAID ACTORS ON THE PLANET RETURN TO DESTROY HOLLYWOOD BUDGETS AND MAKE STEALING ATTRACTIVE AND THEREFORE, NOT WRONG. AFTER DANNY OCEAN'S MENTOR IS DOUBLE CROSSED BY A HUMAN ORANGE (AL PACINO), HE AND HIS GANG OF SUPER COOL THIEVES DECIDE TO RIP OFF THE ORANGE'S NEW CASINO/HOTEL NAMED, THE BANK. IN ORDER TO PULL OFF THIS FEISTY HEIST, DANNY'S 13 MUST REQUEST THE HELP OF ANDY GARCIA (WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN), THE CASINO OWNER THEY PREVIOUSLY RIPPED OFF IN OCEAN'S 11. TALK ABOUT HIGH STAKES. OH MY. THIS MOVIE DOESN'T FOCUS SO MUCH ON VEGAS, OR PLOT, AS IT DOES RIDICULOUS PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN'T EXIST. AT THIS RATE I EXPECT DANNY'S 14TH TO BE A MUPPET.....AL PACINO GIVES A GLOWING PERFORMANCE. THAT LITTLE CHINESE THING STEALS THE SHOW THOUGH.
