In this installment, the Ocean's Gang unites to seek out revenge when a Casino mogul reneges on a partnership with one of the crew.
I hate to keep using this cliche in this summer of trilogies, but this is the 3rd best Ocean's movie in the 3 part series thus far.
This movie chose a slightly different directoral path - by revealing the "how" of the con the entire movie. While there is a very interesting twist at the end, the action comes more from the improvisation and intelligence of the Ocean's Gang in this film.
I particularly liked the odes to Sinatra (who originally played Danny Ocean). I also enjoyed seeing Super Dave Osborne as one of the stars.
In some places the dialogue is a little too wordy and was kind of hard to follow.
You don't really have to have seen the other two for this movie to make sense, but it does help.
I would recommend it, but this one might be a "wait for it on video" release kind of recommendation.
That being said, this is the best of the summer movies that I've seen thus far. I might change my mind once I see Transformers.

Oceans 11 was great , 12 was bad and 13 was somewhere in the middle.
Time to stop making any more of these -- just isn't working.
I agree with that assesment - 12 was actually good wthout the "Julia Roberts is tess is Julia Roberts is Tess" thing.
I especially like how they "conned a con using a con man"
