This movie tried to revisit the reason why Ocean's 11 was so well-liked, and for a brief moment it did succeed but just a brief moment cos on most parts, when you try to compare this to Ocean's 11, this still feel somewhat inferior.
The Oceans gang are back and this time minus the romance angle. Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta Jones are gone. The only woman in this one is Ellen Barkin who plays the assistant of the villain Al Pacino.
One of their own member (Elliot Gould who plays Monica and Ross Geller's dad in "Friends") was duped into all his life savings, causing him to be in a coma. Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and gang wants revenge on Al Pacino's character.
It's quite fun seeing how they scheme their way into the casino owned by Al Pacino, and in the process within a few minutes win all the money from all the tables.
There was a funny scene involving Oprah Winfrey's show. Watch out for it.
Ocean's 11 was more tight and there was a sense of danger that Ocean's 13 lacks.
Ocean's 13- 6/10
Ocean's 12- 4/10
Ocean's 11- 7.5 /10
