George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and more reteam with director Steven Soderbergh for a split-second caper that stacks the deck with wit, style and cool. Danny Ocean again runs the game, so no rough stuff. No one gets hurt. Except for double-crossing Vegas kingpin Willy Bank (Al Pacino). Ocean's crew will hit him where it hurts: in his wallet. On opening night of Bank's posh new casino tower The Bank, every turn of a card and roll of the dice will come up a winner for bettors. And they'll hit him in his pride, making sure the tower doesn't receive a coveted Five Diamond Award. That's just the start of the flimflams. The boys are out to break The Bank. Place your bets!DVD Features:

 Nothing New, But Still BlueSep 07, 2010
Really nothing wrong with this movie. But no girl? Well, there was an older girl... does that count? Ocean here (11) - Ocean there (12) and now... Oceans everywhere :)
 Great movieAug 29, 2010
13 is my favorite of the three. The rapport between Cloony & Pitt is marvelous, as it is too with the entire ensemble. Highly recommended as a good old fashioned movie - ironic given its' setting in Vegas.
Good movie -- horrible disc.Jun 21, 2010
Ocean's 13 is a great movie. If you like the previous Ocean's films, you will like this one.
The transfer to Blu-ray was very poorly done. The picture is not that great and the sound is just okay. There's really no value to paying extra for the Blu-Ray, because the soundtrack is merely Dolby Digital. Any decent Blu-ray player should be capable of upscaling the DVD to give you adequate picture -- you aren't going to get much better from this Blu-ray disc anyway!
Beautifully shot, pleasantly goofy film suffers only mildly from poor transfers on both dvd and blu-rayMay 23, 2010
4.3 stars
I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable this one was. Nobody takes it too seriously, yet there's a lot of quality here, both in the easy humor and interplay of the cast, and in the occasionally spectacular cinematography by Soderbergh. Even the script is quite good.
What isn't good is the transfer to both dvd and blu-ray. I watched the dvd and was amazed at how washed out and grainy it was, so I rented the BD, and it was no better. The only positive is that the crappy transfer saturates the colors even more than they already are, and it suits Soderbergh's splashy, neon vision of Vegas quite well.
The real star here is the camera, and it's used to perfection, sweeping down gleaming hallways and floating over the very nicely CGI'ed Bank Hotel. SS has become a very sharp director, getting fine performances from all his actors while framing them, the town, and its cheesy architecture in a style reminiscent of both the best noir and '70s crime flicks. The music echoes it all and Ocean's 13 becomes quite a pleasure to watch if you're a fan of either of those genres.
You need to turn off your logic filter, though, as the plot has endless holes, but none of this is meant to be taken too seriously. Pacino gets this and turns in a very funny performance in its own edgy way. Ditto for Barkin. In fact, everybody in the movie is fun to watch, and Pitt and Clooney make a truly great team. You can imagine the fun these guys all had shooting this in Vegas and it shows up on screen. There are plenty of laughs to go around and it's all a breezy good time.
Pure fluff, but very entertaining fluff done with technical brilliance, O13 is well worth seeing if you like any of these actors, great cinematography, Vegas, and crime capers in general. Even the weak transfer is easy to let go of; it adds its own grainy color and in some ways fits in just fine.
Fast ShippingApr 10, 2010
This was relatively a decent price for a good movie. Fast shipping and good packaging. Thanks Amazon.
