Starring: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, Andy Garcia, Matt Damon

Synopsis: It's bolder. Riskier. The most dazzling heist yet. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and more re-team with director Steven Soderbergh for a split-second caper that stacks the deck with wit, style and cool. Danny Ocean again runs the game, so no rough stuff. No one gets hurt. Except for double-crossing Vegas kingpin Willy Bank (Pacino).

Ocean't 13 - Available Now!

Ocean's crew will hit him where it hurts: in his wallet. On opening night of Bank's posh new casino tower The Bank, every turn of a card and roll of the dice will come up a winner for bettors. And they'll hit him in his pride, making sure the tower doesn't receive a coveted Five Diamond Award. That's just the start of the flimflams. The boys are out to break The Bank. Place your bets!

DVD Features:

  • Documentary: "Vegas: An Opulent Illusion": A look at how Las Vegas has created an illusory world of opulence through its design
  • Featurette: "Jerry Weintraub Walk and Talk": Weintraub takes us on a tour of the casino
  • Additional Scenes

Critique:

There are some fine performances to enjoy in this production, even if the plot is a bit far-fetched at times. Clooney always puts forth a charming "Ocean". Pacino, Pitt, and Barkin give notable performances, to name a few. The film works best when it deals with the personal relationships between the characters as they work as a team to pull off the heist. Thankfully, it has sharp dialogue and several entertaining gag-runs throughout the film, keeping the audience tuned in.

The features on the DVD are few, but interesting all the same. There is a 22-minute featurette about the history of Las Vegas that is somewhat entertaining, a two-and-a-half minute walk through the Ocean's Thirteen set, and a few additional scenes (a little over four minutes) added in for good measure. This may not seem like a lot, but it is better than nothing! If you are a fan of the series or actors, you NEED this DVD to add to your Clooney/Pitt/Pacino/Damon collections.
