Saw this today and liked it. It starts off slow, tension and surprise are non-existent and worst of all, Ellen Barkin's part is a total waste. Nevertheless, I absolutely loved the visual style of this film and the chemistry of the cast. Like the first one, the dialoge was actually pretty cool, unlike the second one, with this one I never felt left out of the loop.
This film reminded me of Roger Ebert'
review of
A Few Good Men, where he complains about the film being one "[...]
one of those movies that tells you what it's going to do, does it, and then tells you what it did." and while I was actually thrilled by the Cruise/Nicholson-duel at the end, I was kind of let down by the ending of Ocean's 13.
