Ocean's Thirteen Reviews

The Mahalo Top 7

The Denver Post: Ocean's Thirteen Review (3/4)
- "But another one of those Soderbergh rules to live by is that everything "Oceans" is done for fun. If you're not having a good time, cash in your chips and walk away. Don't whine to management, and don't expect to be comped."
Entertainment Weekly: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- "Steven Soderbergh's delectably elaborate and savory soufflé of a mother-of-all-scams sequel."
Rolling Stone: Ocean's Thirteen Review (3/4)
- "The movie is all heist, which Soderbergh carries off in high style."
Premiere: Ocean's Thirteen Review (3/4)
- "What sets "Ocean's Thirteen" apart from every other summer blockbuster currently unspooling is that this movie's actually more fun if you bring an attention span to the theater with you."
USA Today: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- ""Ocean's Thirteen" is as frothy and smooth as a chilled margarita on a hot Vegas night."

Seattlepi.com: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- "But, despite the added star power of Al Pacino as the heavy, a slightly shorter running time and a script that is less lazy and joke-filled, it's just as much of a rambling mess. All told, this thing has to be one of the dullest caper movies ever made."
Guardian Unlimited: Ocean's Thirteen Review (1/5)
- "It's just the tiniest bit better than Ocean's Twelve. To be worse, or as bad, the film would have had to have been a single 122-minute shot of 13 dead haddocks on a slab."
Metromix: Ocean's Thirteen Review (1.5/4)
- ""Thirteen" is all about maintaining a barely perceptible smirk behind an impassive pose. The line between cool and cold is a thin one, however. Cool isn't the word for "Thirteen"; it's just smug."
LA Weekly: Ocean’s Thirteen Review
- "Now, Soderbergh has made a movie so cool it’s practically comatose. Sputtering along from one half-cocked gag line and self-satisfied in-joke to the next."

Philadelphia Weekly: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- "It’s fairly charming, extremely well put-together, and by this time next week I doubt I’ll remember even having seen it."
The Austin Chronicle: Ocean's Thirteen Review (2.5/4)
- "We have "Ocean’s Thirteen", which is either a winning return to form or a complete retread of the first movie, depending on your point of view. I see it both ways..."
Baltimoresun.com: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- "Still, the pleasures of "Ocean's Thirteen" are so slight as to be eminently forgettable. Most of the "twists" in the plot are of the ho-hum variety; it's not that one sees them coming, but that they don't amount to much when they show up."
Salon: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- "The rest of "Ocean's Thirteen" has a pleasingly casual, raffish quality -- it's enjoyable to watch, particularly if you've got nothing better to do."
