George Clooney in Ocean's 13
What can you expect of the third in a series of remakes of a not-so-hot 1960 caper (the Rat Pack's Ocean's Eleven )? No matter how slim your hopes, they will probably be deflated by this tired smarmathon. Despite all the star quality George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, guest villain Al Pacino director Steven Soderbergh can infuse no energy into the Vegas caper plot. He can't even make these photogenic celebs look fabulous. For them and the audience, this Thirteen is bad luck.
