Ocean's Thirteen - A játszma folytatódik

Egy annyira elegánsan feldobott játékkocka, hogy bár mindegyik oldalán ugyanaz a szám van, mégis öröm nézni, ahogyan végig repül. Szórakoztató és szerethető stílusos film, amely a Brad Pitt tökéletes öltönyeivel, az állatiasan vonzó MILF Ellen Barkinnal (valaki tudja a parfüm receptjét?!) és a felhőkarcoló-hotel mágnás Al Pacinóval örvendeztetett meg. Plusz Andy Garcia, Vincent Cassel és David Paymer számára testre szabott szerepek, illetve az örökké mosolygós Danny Ocean Clooney. Steven Soderbergh remek munkát végzett tíz nagy kakassal, mindegyikből kipréselte, amit csak tudott, és közben lazított is. Talán nem olyan nagyszerű, mint az első rész (gyorsabban elillanó és "egyszerűbb"), másrészt viszont átláthatóbb és lazább, mint az ellentmondásos második rész. (2007.06.30)

The third trip with this irresistible bunch should rather be the last. I'm not saying that I won't miss them occasionally, but there have been too many coincidences already and in the end, there aren't that many surprises. The Mexican revolution will be the most exciting, and of course, ambitious and unscrupulous Pacino. So, from relaxed entertainment, Danny and the gang have reached a easily digestible average.

This was basically a mush that has been thickened with finesse and grace. The Ocean's saga always used to be about the same thing and the third piece isn’t exactly an exception. The actors are doing solid work and they’re the trilogy’s main currency. But that’s about it. I wasn’t really even that excited about this movie and in the end, it was a decent two-hour relax. But without any significant emotions. (2013.05.26)

Soderbergh hasn't done himself any favors. He went from schizophrenic to overstuffed, in which the audience had to look under a magnifying glass for jokes and good humor. So many robbery themes, and so many players on one field, and yet the film focuses more or less only on the characters of Danny and Rusty, and leaves the rest of the cast to drift by. Two hours of egotistical boredom, no balls, no perspective, and most importantly, no originality. Ocean's Thirteen gave me the impression the whole time that the characters were not stealing for fun, but to pay the rent. Sad. (2007.09.29)

I don't dare to give this a star rating because I gave up on the movie after a while. The whole Ocean's series didn't sit well with me, and I didn't rate the first one because it quickly evaporated from my mind. I gave the second one 2 stars, and if I found the determination to endure, the third one would probably receive the same rating. The Ocean's series looks up to legends like The Sting from a respectable distance. It may be because with Ocean's Thirteen, it's clear from the beginning who will win, and the movie doesn't have any significant twists or shocking revelations. Considering the multitude of stars, the budget, and the advertising, it's a very average movie for my taste. (2010.05.09)
