Oceans 13, hopefully a lucky number...

I have not been anticipating a sequel this much since the 5th grade standing in line with Billy Alpert to see The Empire Strikes Back. This favorable review by TODD MCCARTHY gives me hope that the great caper franchise is back on track from the fumble of Oceans 12...

TODD MCCARTHY ...As smooth as a good mojito, as stylish as an Armani suit and as meaningful in the grand scheme of things as yesterday's Las Vegas betting odds, "Ocean's Thirteen" continues the breezy good times of the first two series entries without missing a beat. By returning the action to Vegas, producer Jerry Weintraub and director Steven Soderbergh recapture the feel of the 2001 original after the 2004 European detour that bugged some fans. With George, Brad, Matt and the rest pulling another ultra-cool con without breaking a sweat, and with Al Pacino ideal as their new nemesis, Warner Bros. can bet on cashing in for yet another franchise payday.

A Warner Bros. release presented in association with Village Roadshow Pictures of a JW/Section Eight production. Produced by Jerry Weintraub. Executive producers, Susan Ekins, Gregory Jacobs, Frederic W. Brost, Bruce Berman. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. Screenplay, Brian Koppelman, David Levien, based on characters created by George Clayton Johnson, Jack Golden Russell.
