Ocean's Thirteen
Not even those that made it liked Ocean’s 12. Matt Damon says "the tag line we’re trying to get them to use is "the sequel they should have made last time. The only reason Steven Soderbergh wants to do it is to make a movie that’s better than the first two". And Bernie Mac: "We really got away from the reality and that disappointed me. But this is the one Ocean’s 12 should have been." And as if to just show-off, Al Pacino joins the platinum gold cast.
The original 11 are back in Vegas. Their former nemesis Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), having locked horns with badasssed mogul Willie Banks (Al Pacino), approaches Danny Ocean (George Clooney) for help in taking him down.
