THE DANMAN CAN

Ocean's Eight   (2018) is a slick, enjoyable heist film that adheres a little bit too much to the formula of the trilogy that came before it but always remains fun. The cast is great, composer  Daniel Pemberton  provides a head-bobbing facsimile of David Holmes ' style, and while director/co-writer Gary Ross doesn't make any bad decisions, neither does he really offer any surprises. I can't help but wonder what the film would have turned out like if Soderbergh had just directed.

Ocean's Thirteen   (2007) is my least favorite of the trilogy. Still a fun "romp".  Pacino & Barkin were inspired additions and the film features a typical snazzy score from David Holmes .

I'm in the minority here, but Ocean's Twelve  (2004) is my favorite of the trilogy. I don't know why most people hate this one. I think it's more fun than the first film . Couple of good cameos. Best score/soundtrack of the three films. Plus, how can you beat the inclusion of the dashingly charming Vincent Cassel and the absurdly beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones ?

Ocean's Eleven (2001) is fun and entertaining with a great cast, dialogue,  director  and  score/soundtrack . What more can you ask for in this type of film? P.S. - I've yet to see the original .
