Ocean's 8 - 瞞天過海:八面玲瓏

Ocean's 8 (瞞天過海:八面玲瓏) is an 2018 film. The films stars an ensemble cast of Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, and Awkwafina. The movie is not a direct sequel to the other George Clooney and Brad Pitt Ocean movies, Sandra Bullock plays an Ocean in the same universe. Just like the trailers, this is a heist movie through and through.



Sandra Bullock plays Debbie Ocean, the sister of Danny Ocean, George Clooney's character in the other Ocean movies. Debbie was sent to prison and the movie starts with her release from confinement. Debbie immediately seeks out her old friends to a big heist that she's been plan for all her time behind bars. Debbie gets her Brad Pitt counterpart in Cate Blanchett playing Lou Miller. Together they get their target, build their team and the heist. The heist is to steal the Toussaint, a $150 million Cartier necklace, from the Met Gala, 3 weeks after her release. Pretty crazy! Let the recruitment begin! You saw the list above, its a bit of a who's who of female actors that have their own skills and thieving ways. Do they have enough skills to carry this out and steal the Toussaint?

Entertaining movie. If you like the Ocean's Eleven remake, you'll definitely like this one. The ensemble cast make for an entertaining ride. Sure, all the characters play a bit to a certain stereotype. But so what, that's are more personality driven than the race or creed. I recommend a watch. I got this via T-Mobile's Redbox promotion.
