Ocean's Thirteen


Leaps and bounds better than Ocean's Twelve, at least there wasn't some lame plot device.  It was enjoyable to watch, especially since it centers around revenge over an unjust act, which is always fun to watch.  Basically, the new antagonist backstabs one of Ocean's team and the team decides to get revenge by breaking him in terms stealing his prized possessions and causing him to lose a lot of money.  The scene shifts back to Las Vegas and revolves around casinos, which is welcome.  While the planning and execution scenes in the movie aren't as up to par as Ocean's Eleven (and lacking a big revelation at the end), it was still good.  The dialogue was great, and I liked how they teamed up with the series' past antagonist.  There were a few odd events that happened where it felt messy and you couldn't figure out why they had included it.  The ending also wasn't as sweet as you would have hoped.  Then there's the inclusion of Toulour which was awkward and strange.  There were still some impossible/improbable elements but it was easy to overlook them.
