Review of Ocean's Thirteen (2007) by Chrisdej. — 07 Jun 2007
If you walk into a film like this expecting to be moved the way you are after a Bergman film then no wonder you'll be dissappointed. The great thing about these films is that they play off the spirit of the orignal with more effort to film.
Like all great heist films there are an abundance of homages to be found. This more so than all the other Ocean's films is merry to the point that I believe Fellini was even paid an homage with the helicopter scene.
This film is appreciative of the illusion of Hollywood and Vegas itself. It's no The Red Circle or other great heist movie in that sense but it's fun and does not disappoint on taking you along for the ride and the inside jokes.
Maybe not as fun if you don't know your film history.
