The gang is back. Danny Ocean (George Clooney) gathers his partners in crime together when one of their own is in trouble. After Reuben (Elliott Gould) is swindled out of his partnership in a new high tech Las Vegas casino by his "former" business ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at MovieWeb (Francine Brokaw)

In Ocean's 13, Danny Ocean (George) and Rusty Ryan (Brad) round up the troops to form an elaborate scheme to rob a brand new hotel/casino in Las Vegas. Unlike the previous two "Ocean" movies, there is no Julia Roberts, the casino is owned by Willy Bank ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at Empire Movies (Brendan Cullin)

Lobo Howls (Judith Wolfe)
Oh those aging rascals are at it again. Director Steven Soderbergh, who knows his cast of hunky actors well, delivers a slick, predictable, Ocean's formulaic, easy on the eye, summer indulgence of a film.
The caper this time out involves a nasty Las ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at Lobo Howls (Judith Wolfe)

Valencia, Californie. Alors qu'il est au beau milieu d'un casse, Rusty Ryan reçoit un coup de fil et quitte son poste pour rejoindre Danny Ocean.

The Age
There are some nice moments in Ocean's Thirteen. There's Ellen Barkin being funny as a lust-struck casino executive. There's Don Cheadle going over-the-top as an Evel Knievel-type daredevil. There's a neat little story arc involving a hotel critic that ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at The Age
Cinema in Focus (Denny Wayman and Hal Conklin)
As trilogies go, Steven Soderberghâs third film is strong. Having created a merry band of thieves in âOceanâs 11,â and having disappointed their fans in âOceanâs 12,â âOceanâs Thirteenâ restores our interest. Not only is the caper ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at Cinema in Focus (Denny Wayman and Hal Conklin)
Austin Chronicle (Josh Rosenblatt)
Three films in, and Soderberghâs Oceanâs franchise has settled into a kind of hipster equanimity â happy to live in that loosely defined territory where art meets commerce and story blends seamlessly with cool. 2001âs great Oceanâs Eleven ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at Austin Chronicle (Josh Rosenblatt)
Empire Movies (Erin Cullin)
Before I begin my review of Ocean's 13, I have a small confession to make. Try as I may, I had some difficulty preparing an objective review of this film. After spending two hours watching Brad Pitt and George Clooney, they could have been starring in a ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at Empire Movies (Erin Cullin)

Film School Rejects (Matthew Alexander)
Steven Soderbergh makes it a trilogy with his latest Oceanâs installment, Oceanâs Thirteen. Itâs not a bad movie, but like its immediate predecessor it falls far short of the first movie, and for the typical reasons that sequels generally fall ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at Film School Rejects (Matthew Alexander)
Movie Picture Film (Scott Hoffman)
As said to be some sort of a make up for the dismal sequel "Ocean's Twelve," this threequel (and hopefully last of the trilogy) is a major improvement over the last film, but still bores in parts.
A basic revenge story, this chapter of the "Ocean's" ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at Movie Picture Film (Scott Hoffman)

Ah, the joys of watching the rich get richer.

Back to basics. This seems to be the mantra for Ocean's Thirteen,
which marks the end of the Ocean's trilogy. Twelve, the widely
despised sequel, made the mistake of getting creative. They changed
the recipe and it made the people squeamish. Critics ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at
Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan)
"Ocean's Thirteen" shows that while you can counterfeit many things in Hollywood, you can't fake inspiration.

"Ocean's Thirteen" (Warner Bros.), the third film in the stylish caper franchise, pays tribute to its roots in the "Rat Pack" Las Vegas milieu of Frank Sinatra's original 1960 "Ocean's Eleven." So, too, this second sequel to the George Clooney version of ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

The most difficult part of doing repeat performances is keeping them fresh -- something that is hard to come by in a summer already saturated with trilogies.

PopMatters (Cynthia Fuchs)
Most everyone agrees that Oceans Twelve was a disappointment. But if talking about that disappointment seems a peculiar pitch for Oceans Thirteen, it also looks pretty clever.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
How many times can you keep conning the viewers and get away with it?

When Peter Lawford proposed the first Oceanâs 11 to Frank Sinatra, circa 1960, Frank used it as a vacation in Las Vegas for him and his Rat Pack friends. The result was a mediocre movie that didnât get a lot of audience or critical approval. But, ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at

Call me a cockeyed optimist, but even when Iâm disappointed with a movie, I still look forward to its remake and sequels.

The Movie Boy (Dustin Putman)
Like Rat Packers Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. that came decades before them, the "Ocean's" franchise has been but an excuse to put such Hollywood movie stars as George Clooney (2005's "Syriana"), Brad Pitt (2006's "Babel") and Matt ...read the complete Ocean's Thirteen movie review at The Movie Boy (Dustin Putman)

o call the Ocean's films frivolous would be kind, implying that these arduous concoctions are somehow light on their proverbial feet.
