DVD Reviews of Ocean's Thirteen (Widescreen Edition)

DVD Review: Ken's review
Summary: 4 Stars

I liked all the Ocean movies!If you liked the first and second movies, you'll like this one.

DVD Review: 13 is an unlucky number
Summary: 1 Stars

The boys spring into action when crooked bigshot boss Willie Banks (Al Pacino) cheats Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) out of his share of a new casino. While Rueben recovers from a heart attack, Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and company (Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, ad nauseum) implement a far-fetched and ill-defined plan to sink the big opening.

I really enjoyed the first movie and found something to appreciate in the second, as well, but this third installment is just awful from beginning to end. They use the drill that dug the Chunnel to burrow under the casino so they can simulate an earthquake? Really? Are you kidding me? And nobody notices? By the way, when the first one breaks down, they manage to come up with a second one. This is only one element of a plan that would require unlimited resources and the omnipotence of the Almighty himself to pull off. I think it was just made as an excuse for Clooney and his cool posse to pal around in Vegas for a few months. What a life!

DVD Review: ok movie
Summary: 3 Stars

i bought this BD for $8. 3.5* story; 4.5* video; 4* audio; 3* acting. i think HIS 14 should be in jeopardy if no major change.

DVD Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 3 Stars

The Bottom Line:

An improvement over the shaky second installment, Ocean's Thirteen does a reasonably good job mixing light humor and light caper; it's a pleasing-enough, forgettable film that appeals to fans of the series without offering anything substantial.

DVD Review: Ocean's Thirteen (13) Bluray Disappointment
Summary: 3 Stars

Good movie though not on a par with Ocean's 11. The chemistry between the characters is fantastic as ever and the mrs got her dose of eye candy which is why I bought the movie in the first place.

The HD conversion really brought my experience of this movie down to the ground. The picture was grainy, colours were off leaning heavily to the red end of the spectrum. I spent half an hour checking the settings of my TV and player without any improvement.
I then slipped in the Dark Night (which in hindsight I should have done right at the beginning) and got the gorgeous picture you'd expect.

It seems the studio and / or distributor rushed the conversion on this one so save your money and just buy the DVD!

Movie: 3.5 / 5
Picture: 1 / 5
Sound: 3/5

Description of Ocean's Thirteen (Widescreen Edition)

It's bolder. Riskier. The most dazzling heist yet. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and more reteam with director Steven Soderbergh for a split-second caper that stacks the deck with wit, style and cool. Danny Ocean again runs the game, so no rough stuff. No one gets hurt. Except for double-crossing Vegas kingpin Willy Bank (Al Pacino). Ocean's crew will hit him where it hurts: in his wallet. On opening night of Bank's posh new casino tower The Bank, every turn of a card and roll of the dice will come up a winner for bettors. And they'll hit him in his pride, making sure the tower doesn't receive a coveted Five Diamond Award. That's just the start of the flimflams. The boys are out to break The Bank. Place your bets!

Featurette


George Clooney is one, Brad Pitt is two, Matt Damon three... well, let's just assume there are 13 collaborators in this installment of Steven Soderbergh's profitable caper franchise. We're back in Las Vegas for Ocean's Thirteen, where the boys plot to shut down the brand-new venture of a backstabbing hotelier (Al Pacino) because the guy double-crossed the now-ailing Reuben (Elliott Gould). If you look at the plot too closely, the entire edifice collapses (hey, how about those Chunnel-digging giant drills?), but Soderbergh conjures up a visual style that swings like Bobby Darin at the Copa. Other than the movie-star dazzle, the main reason to see the film is Soderbergh's uncanny feel for how the widescreen frame can float through the neon spaces of Vegas or sort through groups of characters sitting in hotel rooms talking (he shot the film himself, under his pseudonym Peter Andrews).

The film doesn't give enough time to goofballs Casey Affleck and Scott Caan (whose riffs made Ocean's Twelve worth seeing), although it provides comic stuff for a fun roster of actors, including Eddie Izzard, David Paymer, and Bob ("Super Dave") Einstein. Meanwhile, Ellen Barkin makes a fetching assistant for Pacino, and Pacino himself, his hair dyed Trumpian orange, is content to gnaw on some ham for the duration. Biggest puzzle about the two sequels is why George Clooney seems content to retreat from centerstage. Still, his Hemingwayesque conversations with Pitt are an amusing form of male shorthand, and even as the movie overstays its welcome during a long finale, Clooney's easy sense of cool makes it all seem acceptable. --Robert Horton
