Review of Ocean's Eight (2018) by Benarden — 03 Jul 2018
More akin to "Girls Having Lunch" than an "Oceans" movie, this dull, scriptless, lackluster mess wanders about wasting our time.
This is supposed to be a caper movie; smart dialogue, snappy camera work, always moving forward, keeping you off balance; Entertaining. Why wasn't there a decent script? why such lackluster, passive directing? Why the anemic camera work and editing. The cast tried, and I really wanted it to suceed, but it's like watching Jellyfish race. After an hour I left. I did ask for my money back, trying to recoup my loss of a full hour of summertime wasted.
