Critics Reviews: 7 out of 10

Chicago Sun-Times
The modern caper movie, such as Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's Thirteen," dispenses with such tiresome exposition and contains mostly action and movie-star behavior.

The jazzy music, saturated-to-bleeding colors, and even the credits font make it clear from the outset: Ocean's Thirteen is more variety show than heist thriller.

Now, along comes Ocean's Thirteen, and it's back to basics. This is a stripped-down, plot-oriented heist movie where character development and interpersonal interaction have been set aside in order to keep the parts clicking.
James Berardinelli
San Francisco Chronicle
Which brings us to today, to "Ocean's Thirteen" and the rare case of a movie franchise following "The Three Bears" pattern: The third one is just right. Like the first "Ocean's," "Ocean's Thirteen" is a satisfying story of a grand-scale swindle, but it also retains the impishness and charm of "Ocean's Twelve."
