Steven Soderbergh created this profitable franchise. Like the previous two movies before it, Ocean’s Thirteen awed audiences by featuring George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Brad Pitt in the same movie along with other known names as supporting characters. Set in Las Vegas, the boys plan to go against the new project of a slanderous hotelier played by Al Pacino as revenge for the ailing Reuben played by Elliot Gould. If you take a closer look at the plot, the entire framework breaks down but Soderbergh added a new visual style that almost kicks like Bobby Darin at the Copa. Shooting the film himself using his pseudonym Peter Andrews, Soderbergh’s outstanding performance on making the widescreen float through the colorful spaces of Las Vegas and groups of people lounging and talking in hotel rooms is the only other reason to see the movie, aside from the fact that the cast is star-studded of course.
The usual comic of Ocean’s Twelve that came from Scott Caan and Casey Affleck are lacking in this movie but makes up for it by mixing up the skills of David Paymer, Bob Einstein, and Eddie Izzard. On the other hand, Ellin Barkin plays the assistant of Al Pacino while Pacino himself is satisfied to chew on some lines for the duration of the movie, with his hair dyed Trumpian orange to boot. The most confusing factor that most Clooney fans will notice however is that why George was satisfied of not being in the center stage; although his performance and his conversations with Brad Pitt are an entertaining form of male script. All in all, the usual Clooney coolness makes the long finale and everything about the movie believable.
