lt 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 triIogy of capers. And for those who endured the seIf-indulgent mess that was Oceans 12, this Iatest and finaI entry in the franchise is a very welcome treat, proving very much that lessons were learnt. Dropping Catherine Zeta Jones and JuIia Roberts from the cast list, but signing up the smaIler matter of Al Pacino instead, the rest of the pIayers remain broadly intact. So its George CIooneys Danny Ocean who Ieads the team of cons, supported by Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle and Carl Reiner. And its the easy chemistry between these and the rest of the team that underpin what makes Oceans 13 such an enjoyable ride. The pIot pits Ocean and his gang against Al Pacinos ruthless casino boss, and whiIe the script perhaps lacks the cIeverness and dense pIotting that worked so weII in the first adventure, it stiIl Ieaves pIenty 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 released in the midst of a summer where threequeIs generaIly werent too weIl received, Oceans 13 arrives in fine shape, and rounds off the triIogy with reaI panache. --Jon Foster |
