movie review...oceans 13


from Clearplay: "In Ocean’s Thirteen, Danny Ocean (George Clooney) rounds up his gang once again for a noble purpose. They’re looking out for one of their own (Elliott Gould) who gets cheated out of a hotel investment and suffers a heart attack. Ocean and company refuse to let uber-hotelier Willie Bank (Al Pacino) get away with the double-crossing, and decide to spoil the grand opening of his casino.
Okay, so revenge isn’t exactly a noble motive, and this may be off-putting to some viewers. After all, this is a caper movie about crooks, and ClearPlay won’t change that. But in the grand tradition of other caper movies (The Sting, The Italian Job), the “heroes” of Ocean’s Thirteen are swindling other, worse, bad guys, and at least they’re charming as they do it."
