Ocean's Thirteen is a dramatic comedy about friends who come together to avenge one of their own against an oily hotel magnate played by Al Pacino. The cast from the first two Ocean's movies returns to Las Vegas and pulls a variety of cons, including causing an earthquake.
The nation's critics largely enjoyed the caper flick, especially the cinematography by director Steven Soderbergh, and the aplomb with which the all star cast pulls off the unbelievable plot twists. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a pretty favorable 70% freshness rating.

Ocean's 13 Review Excerpts
- "Part of what makes the "Ocean's" films, even the self-indulgent second installment, so enjoyable is that they're not only about Mr. Soderbergh's obsessive aesthetic investment in every single shot, but they're also about him trying to make the audience love his images every bit as much as he does." — The New York Times
- "I know full well I'm expected to Suspend My Disbelief. Unfortunately, my disbelief is very heavy, and during "Ocean's Thirteen," the suspension cable snapped." — Roger Ebert

Ocean's Thirteen Reviews (Good)
- The Denver Post: Ocean's Thirteen Review (3/4)
- "But another one of those Soderbergh rules to live by is that everything "Oceans" is done for fun. If you're not having a good time, cash in your chips and walk away. Don't whine to management, and don't expect to be comped."
- Entertainment Weekly: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- "Steven Soderbergh's delectably elaborate and savory soufflé of a mother-of-all-scams sequel."
- Rolling Stone: Ocean's Thirteen Review (3/4)
- "The movie is all heist, which Soderbergh carries off in high style."
- Premiere: Ocean's Thirteen Review (3/4)
- "What sets "Ocean's Thirteen" apart from every other summer blockbuster currently unspooling is that this movie's actually more fun if you bring an attention span to the theater with you."
- USA Today: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- ""Ocean's Thirteen" is as frothy and smooth as a chilled margarita on a hot Vegas night."
Ocean's Thirteen Reviews (Bad)
- Seattlepi.com: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- "But, despite the added star power of Al Pacino as the heavy, a slightly shorter running time and a script that is less lazy and joke-filled, it's just as much of a rambling mess. All told, this thing has to be one of the dullest caper movies ever made."
- Guardian Unlimited: Ocean's Thirteen Review (1/5)
- "It's just the tiniest bit better than Ocean's Twelve. To be worse, or as bad, the film would have had to have been a single 122-minute shot of 13 dead haddocks on a slab."
- Metromix: Ocean's Thirteen Review (1.5/4)
- ""Thirteen" is all about maintaining a barely perceptible smirk behind an impassive pose. The line between cool and cold is a thin one, however. Cool isn't the word for "Thirteen"; it's just smug."
- LA Weekly: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- "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 Reviews (Neutral)
- Philadelphia Weekly: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- "It's fairly charming, extremely well put-together, and by this time next week I doubt I'll remember even having seen it."
- The Austin Chronicle: Ocean's Thirteen Review (2.5/4)
- "We have "Ocean's Thirteen", which is either a winning return to form or a complete retread of the first movie, depending on your point of view. I see it both ways..."
- Baltimoresun.com: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- "Still, 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."
- Salon: Ocean's Thirteen Review
- "The rest of "Ocean's Thirteen" has a pleasingly casual, raffish quality -- it's enjoyable to watch, particularly if you've got nothing better to do."
