Review of Ocean's Eight (2018) by Patrick B — 06 Oct 2018
There has been just one good modern Ocean's movie.
Soderburgh, Clooney, and Brad Pitt nailed it on every level in Ocean's 11. The winning points were:
Strong and compelling leading role,.
Great chemistry between actors,.
Hilariously odd team of thieves,.
Twists, turns, and surprises,.
A romance that made sense,.
Editing, score, and pacing that makes the movie tick like a Swiss clock.
...and it didn't take itself seriously.
Ocean's 8 fails completely in every point mentioned above. It's a plodding, dull, witless exercise, that adds nothing to the franchise, or to the genre of heist movies in general.
