Ocean's Thirteen (2007) 8/10

Starring : George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Ellen Barkin, Al Pacino, Carl Reiner, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan
Director : Steve Soderbergh
Running Time : 118 mins

Reuben Tishkoff (Gould) is double crossed when he builds a casino with a man named Willy Banks (Pacino), leaving him out of pocket and recovering from a heart attack, so Danny Ocean (Clooney) reforms his group of criminals in a personal vendetta against the casino owner, in the hope of bankrupting him and teaching him a lesson he’ll not soon forget.

Like the other Ocean’s movies, this does take a little while to get going, but once it does it’s actually better than the original. It’s nice to see the gang having a real reason for screwing someone over other than plain old jealousy or trying to show off, so this instalment's additional moral compass makes it probably the most enjoyable so far.
