How This Works – Read Other Reviews
Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2018 film Ocean’s 8.
Story
Convoluted, twisty, and ridiculously well planned; everything a good heist needs to be. I did miss the traditional hiccup in the plan but it was understandable to cut out.
Score: 1
Characters
The little development in the characters was extremely well done. It felt like veterans teaching a new generation. The acting was fantastic.
I do feel like the main character had the least growth and that’s a shame.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
The dialogue is quippy and has so many Easter eggs you’d have to watch it several times to catch them all. It’s a movie you can passively watch and enjoy or pay really close attention and get a lot of it.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
Visually stunning with amazing camera work and great costuming.
The music stayed with the classic jazz vibes of the original and added some more high fashion style.
Score: 1
Fun
Despite the complex story, twists, and numerous flashbacks, the movie was easy to follow and everyone in the family liked it.
Score: 1
Overall
A stand-out heist movie that manages to feel fresh while still bringing all the tropes we loved of the first three. A must-watch for heist and Ocean fans.
Final Score: 4.5 Stars out of 5
