Review: 'Ocean’s Thirteen' remains lucky
- After the smug self-indulgences of “Ocean’s Twelve,” in which a 21st-century Rat Pack made the same mistakes as their nominal forebears — mistaking their own idle amusement for compelling moviemaking — “Thirteen” comes as a welcome surprise. Yes, it’s a meaningless exercise in style, one more excuse for a group of well-paid actors to pal around on-camera under the sometimes-watchful eye of director Steven Soderbergh. But “Ocean’s Thirteen” revitalizes a franchise that once seemed in danger of sinking under the weight of its own ego.
