Review of Ocean's Thirteen (2007) by Jgm — 16 Sep 2007
Almost an exercise in how cool a movie can be and still be a movie. Soderburgh casually strips away most of what makes a "regular" movie work: coherent narrative, evolving character relationships (most of what's there is just leftovers from the first two films and the warmest interaction between characters takes place in *letters*), any sense of peril or risk.
This leaves us -- what? Great-looking people bantering in a slick, lovingly-photographed environment. A plot that is as much inferred as unfolded. The overall effect is vaporous: you seem to be having a good time but an hour later, in the light of day, you wonder why.
