Ocean’s Thirteen
“I haven’t spent the last few days playing Bloxorz, honest boss.”
Sorry, you just caught me mid-rehearsal for a meeting at work tomorrow. Ahem. Moving swiftly on to Ocean’s Thirteen…
On the piss-poor-o-meter, Ocean’s Twelve would have to rank quite highly (oooh…doesn’t she look like Julia Roberts… *bites fist*). Let’s face it, things could only get better for the series. Fortunately it has by a smidge, but still not anywhere near as good as Ocean’s Eleven.
The plot basically revolves around Mr Ocean’s posse getting revenge on a casino boss who swindled Ross and Monica’s dad out of some cash that gave him a heart attack (or something). So, cue two hours of plodding robbery set up and a slightly flat and disappointing finale.
Ah well, perhaps I’ve just been too spoiled on Hustle in recent years.
George Clooney’s comment at the very end of this Cannes interview for the film was quite funny though (scripted perhaps?). And speaking of The Bourne Ultimatum, I’ve got a teeny weeny ickle bit of trivia about that to come in a future post…
5/10.
