Review of OCEANS 13


June 21, 2007



I watched this, even though I have not seen Ocean's 11 nor 12. I only know a bit about the basic plots, but nothing specific. But truth to tell, I enjoyed this movie. It is fun. Even though, you really need to check your disbelief at the door. Don't take it seriously. I know the casino tricks they did were not possible in the real world, but it was fun to see Al Pacino's character get his comeuppance.

It was great to see all these stars together, and I feel they all got to be exposed with seemingly equal screen time. I liked Matt Damon's and Carl Reiner's characters the best. I felt they could have chosen a more appropriate actress than Ellen Barkin.

I don't really know the personalities of each member of the gang, nor their talents. I think was where I missed out, on some of the small stuff and inside jokes. But I guess, the whole story was still there for me, so I hope I did not really miss that much.
