Ocean's 13 (4K UHD/Steelbook)

Ocean's Thirteen is a good movie. It's more like the first movie (Eleven) and was 100% better than the second movie (Twelve). The plot centered on a business deal between Willy Banks (Al Pacino) and Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) going bad. Willy led Reuben to believe he would be his partner in Willy's new Las Vegas Casino. Willy double-crossed Reuben which caused Reuben to have a heart attack. Danny Ocean and the guys devised a plan to get back at Willy. The movie takes us through their plan to ruin Willy by bankrupting his casino. In the middle of this plan, they run short of money and go to Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia from the first movie) to ask for money. Terry doesn't like Willy so he agrees with one condition. The condition was Danny & the guys have to steal a diamond necklace that Willy has in a display case. Willy had received this necklace the year before as a prize for winning the Best Casino award. Terry Benedict wanted to get this necklace because he knew how much it meant to Willy. A sub-plot was that Danny didn't want Willy to win this year's "Best Casino" award so they set up a plan to make sure he wouldn't win. **Spoiler** In the end - Danny & the guys succeeded at bankrupting Willy and stealing the necklace. Terry Benedict tried to double cross Danny by stealing the necklace from Matt Damon but Danny was ready and the guy stole a fake necklace instead. Danny donated the real necklace to a charity in Terry's name. The movie was entertaining from start to finish !

So Funny! It's Great 👍

I once heard George Clooney say that he does movies like the "Ocean's" to enable him to do films like "Good Night and Good Luck," etc. What makes him even more admirable is the quality of the former. All of the Ocean's films are smart, classy, clever and highly entertaining. While "Ocean's 12" wasn't quite as sharp as "11," the group is back in form for "Ocean's 13." All of the original characters are back (except for Julia Roberts), and this time Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin are in the mix. Both enter the mix well, retaining their own power. Matt Damon enjoys a larger piece of this story and his performance is wonderful. As a 60's child, I saw the original Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin et al "Ocean's 11" when I was a kid. Although I was much too young to appreciate their musical gifts, I knew they were a big deal. Their gift for making the audience feel like they were part of the secret has been replicated in the Clooney versions, which accounts for a lot of the success of these films. The characters are charming, the plot lines clever and the overall experience is fun. I have to think Frank would be pleased with these new incarnations!

How can miss with these great personalities, and that all did a fine job, not just BE in the picture. Matt Damon and Ellen Barkin together made a funny pair- if you've never seen this movie you may laugh your head off at their dialogue towards the end. From start to finish this film delivered serious comedy. It's a heist, comedy, thriller, caper and crime story all in one and it delivers on all categories.

Love this movie

Enjoyed the movie

The first Oceans was next to perfect, great characters, comedy, interest, etc. The movie kept you there and watching without wondering or distraction. The second...12...left some people irriated the story was not as complex and relied more one characters to be the story as opposed to the "mission". I found the second...12 to be the better of the series for it was more enjoyable to in a sense witness the scene that was the relationships of the characters. The 3rd or 13 tries to return to the 11 type...but it is almost too big. Its still a good movie but it has so many stars and so much going on that the characters are lost...some don't even have lines...also the mission seems secondary...but to what? More famous actors that you'll say...hey there is X or there is X. It looses its wittiness and loses its appeal. Some scene in the 12 movie are longer but are validated by the sense of the meaning to the film in the first the snazzy cuts make the movie great paced. Here its almost a mashup of items. A ad for designer clothes and milfism. Its still good...but you'd be better to watch 11..then 12...and if you need the doggy bag grab 13.
