Movie Review: Ocean’s Thirteen
Combined Rating: 73% (S:76%; P:71%) - So if OCEANS 13 isnt fun, what is it? Well, its neatly packaged and pristinely presented. Soderbergh has a fantastic eye. He has a knack for crafting colorful films that are visual worlds unto themselves, which draw the viewer in to a point where the real world can look somewhat drab in comparison once you leave them. Only this time out, he spent too much time setting everything up that no room was left for error or chance. Its like a perfectly dealt hand that just isnt played with any finesse. Its ironic really how a film set against the gambling capital of the world takes so few risks. Soderbergh sets out to distract the audience with OCEANS 13, like any good casino would. With all the flashing lights, pretty colours and fireworks, you might not realize that youve been playing the slots for longer than you should.
