Summary
RATING: PG-13 for brief sensuality
Starring Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Elliott Gould, Al Pacino, Don Cheadle, Shaobo Qin, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Bernie Mac, and Carl Reiner
What are the odds of getting even? Danny Ocean (Clooney) and the gang would have only one reason to pull off their most ambitious and riskiest casino heist -- to defend one of their own. But they're going to need more than luck on their side to break The Bank. (Warner Bros.)

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
In a world ruled by process, is compassion still real? Or is it just another scam? In Ocean's Thirteen, it is deviously, and merrily, both.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
The most enjoyable thing about the "Ocean's" movies is that nobody involved seems to take them seriously. The star wattage is immense but the stars themselves are refreshingly self-deprecating, almost satirically so.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Manohla Dargis
"Ocean's 23," oops, Ocean's Thirteen, is also a gas; it's lighter than air, prettier than life, a romp, a goof and an attentively oiled machine.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Keith Phipps
The pleasure here, as before, comes from watching skilled professionals team up for a job well done.
Read Full Review >Variety Todd McCarthy
As smooth as a good mojito, as stylish as an Armani suit and as meaningful in the grand scheme of things as yesterday's Las Vegas betting odds, Ocean's Thirteen"continues the breezy good times of the first two series entries without missing a beat.
Read Full Review >Empire Chris Hewitt
You can beat the house and you can break the bank, but sequels always get long odds on defeating the law of diminishing returns – yet Ocean's Thirteen just about pulls it off.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Mark Bell
An over-the-top celebrity cartoon of cool and a tilt-a-whirl of fun.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
It's skillfully rendered fun, but don't expect to remember much the next day.
Read Full Review >ReelViews James Berardinelli
The lack of explosions and gunfire makes this an atypical summer thriller, but its breezy brand of unforced and occasionally self-referential entertainment is a lot more fun than pirates, webslingers, and green ogres.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
A satisfying story of a grand-scale swindle, but it also retains the impishness and charm of "Ocean's Twelve." Even better, it solves the Roberts problem in the most thorough and economical way possible: She's not in the movie.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Sleek, stylish and ephemeral as a fireworks display, Ocean's Thirteen is the definition of light, but not totally brainless, entertainment.
Read Full Review >USA Today Claudia Puig
As frothy and smooth as a chilled margarita on a hot Vegas night.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
Breezy humor and a dazzling heist keep 'Ocean' franchise in the money.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
A glittering, beautifully made goof, and the bulk of its fun comes in watching so many talented people chasing after such trivial, disposable pleasures on such a large, big-budget scale.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey
Overplayed by a toupeed'n'tucked Pacino, Bank is made up to resemble Hollywood mogul Robert Evans, who produced Pacino in The Godfather. It's an inside joke for outsiders. As are the many references to the Corleone family saga.
Read Full Review >Premiere Glenn Kenny
As the caper reaches its conclusion in a swirl of turnabouts and twists -- you'll never guess in whose favor all of them go -- Thirteen delivers more than enough gaming satisfaction for one such picture.
Read Full Review >Rolling Stone Peter Travers
Brad Pitt doesn't really act in Ocean's Thirteen, he just glides through the third chapter in Steven Soderbergh's heist-flick annuity on the magic carpet of his own unimpeachable cool. Don't knock it. Genuine star power is rare. Pitt has it in spades -- all aces.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek
Ocean's Thirteen has a pleasingly casual, raffish quality -- it's enjoyable to watch, particularly if you've got nothing better to do.
Read Full Review >Slate Dana Stevens
The Ocean movies aren't about plot, logic, or character development. They're spa experiences, two-hour-long immersions in a warm tub of Vegas (and Vegas-movie) nostalgia.
Read Full Review >Newsweek David Ansen
This one is all about the boys. But as glad as we are to see them, watching the third installment is like attending a college reunion too soon after the last one: after the initial welcome, there's not all that much to say.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
This time, in a clever script by Brian Koppelman & David Levien (who wrote the poker drama "Rounders"), the heist is for friendship.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jack Mathews
Passingly enjoyable summer fluff, but if you can find a more genial, less edgy caper movie, you might want to own it as a pet.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Ocean's Thirteen proceeds with insouciant dialogue, studied casualness, and a lotta stuff happening, none of which I cared much about because the movie doesn't pause to develop the characters, who are forced to make do with their movie-star personas.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Liam Lacey
If Ocean's Thirteen were compared to a gem, it would have to be considered something of a flashy fraud: Initially impressive for cut and colour, it lacks either clarity or weight.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
Better than the fiasco that was "Ocean's Twelve" (how could it not be?) but not as engaging as "Ocean's Eleven."
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian Shawn Levy
For all its attempts at wrinkles and surprises and sleight-of-hand, Ocean's Thirteen is too direct and plain and pleased with itself to ever feel like a thriller.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach
The pleasures of Ocean's Thirteen are so slight as to be eminently forgettable. Most of the "twists" in the plot are of the ho-hum variety; it's not that one sees them coming, but that they don't amount to much when they show up.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Josh Rosenblatt
Three films in, and Soderbergh's Ocean's franchise has settled into a kind of hipster equanimity – happy to live in that loosely defined territory where art meets commerce and story blends seamlessly with cool.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Stephen Hunter
Ocean's Thirteen is too complicated for its own mediocrity.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
Predictably adolescent and smarmy, with the mix of sentimentality and cynical flippancy that's becoming Steven Soderbergh's specialty (even when he's pretending to make art films), this is chewing gum for the eyes and ears, and not bad as such.
Read Full Review >The New Yorker David Denby
Soderbergh ends the movie with a few jokes, which is casual and neat but leaves you wondering whether the practice of making enormous movies about nothing isn't a little mad.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold
All told, this thing has to be one of the dullest caper movies ever made.
Read Full Review >Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
The director, Steven Soderbergh, and his large, cheerful cast have managed to make the least possible movie that still resembles a movie.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
The line between cool and cold is a thin one, however. Cool isn't the word for "Thirteen"; it's just smug.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Scott Foundas
Now, Soderbergh has made a movie so cool it's practically comatose. Sputtering along from one half-cocked gag line and self-satisfied in-joke to the next, Ocean's Thirteen is as slapdash and slipshod a three-quel as any in this summer's box-office sweepstakes.
Read Full Review >Village Voice J. Hoberman
See it if you must, but don't forget to pack the Air Wick. These breezy doings are mustier than a Glitter Gulch casino at 4 a.m.

Andrew C. gave it a9:
The plot is quite complex and you need to pay attention to follow it, but everything falls into place in the end. This film is very enjoyable, and for anyone who hated Ocean's Twelve (that'll be anyone with a brain then), this film is worthy of being Eleven's sequel. The three things wrong with 12 are corrected in 13, it's an elaborate plan but it's not ridiculous, they're back in the casino, and they're screwing someone who deserves to be screwed - making you, the viewer, root for the people who'd normally be the bad guys.
Rich R. gave it a1:
Sorry, because Steven Soderbergh used to be one of America's best directors, but this movie pure bilge. It feels like all the actors are in on an "in joke" but I'll be danged if I can figure out what it is. Sure, George and Brad are nice guys in real life, but they should get real parts next time instead of wasting their time like this.
Jim gave it a3:
This movie was a complete waste of time. After about 45 minutes, I couldn't wait any longer to see if I actually cared how it ended, and turned it off. Matt Damon seemed like he flew in to shoot a few lines, where they kept the first 'take' and he was outta' there. His performance seemed artificial at best, and the rest of the movie was nothing but pseudo-cool dialog between Pitt, Clooney, and company. Like watching a bad high school play, where everybody tries to act cool, and the audience yawns. Soderberg or whoever else is responsible for the BS content of these movies needs to grow up and learn how to make a real film that's actually worth watching. Even an all-star cast can't make crap enjoyable to watch.
Suyash P. gave it a10:
Another great sequel by Steven Soderbergh to the previous ones. An execllent presentation.
Daniel B. gave it a7:
There are...problems here. The plot is too much. My belief has been in suspension since I was about five years old, so it's not my inability to go along for the ride. The dialogue isn't quite as snappy as in previous installments, though the delivery is good. Al Pacino looks weird. I can't say why or how, just that he does. And Al Pacino should not ever look weird in a film. Al Pacino is Al Pacino--it is not his fault, it is the director's fault. And yet. I can't say I didn't enjoy it. Just that I enjoyed the 2nd film more, and the 1st I have already forgotten.
Kathy P. gave it a2:
What was going on with the close up of Ellen Barkin and Matt Damon? The zits on Damon's face was awful to look at, but Ellen Barkin looked like she had five o'clock shadow. Why didn't they fix the print before they released it?
[Anonymous] gave it a6:
Watching this movie you will have no idea what the hell is going on, literally. Like you will actually have no idea what happens in most of the movie. That aside, it's surprisingly pleasent.
