Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
2 stars out of 5
This was the only show I could bring myself to watch on my overseas flight. Everything else they were offering was garbage, except Indiana Jones, which I had already seen. So I suffered through it.
It is the same old same old. Here, their goal is to ruin the opening of a new casino, since the guy who runs it pulled a fast one on one of their buddies. Yes, kind of interesting to see all the ways in which they are giving this guy a headache. But ultimately, very dull. We have seen it all before - lots of deception and trickery, yaddah yaddah yaddah.
The only thing that keeps this alive is seeing such great actors do all their bit parts. It is fun, but it could not save it. I was so bored I considered turning it off, but had few other options being trapped on a plane. I would only recommend it if you are trapped in place for more than 12 hours.

And when you say "great" actors you of course mean "popular" actors. I would never, ever, ever equate Hollywood's royalty with true acting greatness.
Good point. Great only in the sense that they are familiar faces in Hollywood, not for their acting skill.
