SYNOPSIS
A spin-off of Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy (2001-2007)
Inspired by her brother Danny Ocean, estranged sister Debbie Ocean attempts to pull off the heist of the century at New York City's star-studded annual Met Gala. Her first step is to assemble the perfect crew
REVIEW SUMMARY
"Like the previous Ocean's films: it’s brisk, stylish and sleek… just not nearly as clever. Sandra Bullock, the Queen of cool here, leads a very respectable cast that should have been given more to work with. While there is definitely lots of fun to be had (in the MET Gala scenes especially), the problem comes in the end, when you realize it's nowhere near as smart of a movie as it thinks it is. Just don't blame the talented ladies for your mild disappointed - blame the script."
