Ocean's 8

It was a surprisingly warm winters afternoon in the city.  Me and a bestie really needed an afternoon out.  There wasn't too much too choose from at the cinema as school holidays are on, and we aren't a fan of the superhero genre, and we all know what is going to happen with the dinosaurs (lots of running), so Oceans 8 it is.  I had heard mostly mediocre reviews of the movie, so wasn't expecting much.  I hadn't intended to spend the money on a movie ticket for this one, expecting that I would see it sometime on the tele. 

Anyway I am sure most of you know the premise.  Sandra Bullock plays Debbie Ocean, sister of Danny Ocean (George Clooney) from all the other Oceans movies.  She leaves prison with an idea for a new con.  She gathers a girl gang all with their own special talents (and boat loads of botox), and they set about in trying to steal a necklace at the Met Gala. 

It was all a bit predictable and even though there were a lot of cameos there seemed to be something lacking, a loss of charm and cheekiness that George Clooney/Brad Pitt/ Matt Damon had been able to portray in their movies.  Still it was a bit of distraction from a busy week of work.  3/5
