Ocean's 8 (2018)

Sequel/ spin-off from the Steven Soderbergh/ George Clooney Ocean's 11 franchise. Sandra Bullock plays Debbie Ocean, the sister of Danny who has apparently either died or faked his death, I don't know I never saw Ocean's 13. After getting out of prison for a crime she didn't commit, Debbie has committed plenty of crimes just not the one she went to prison for, Ms. Ocean brings together a bakers half dozen of likable but morally compromised women to rob jewelry from the annual Met Gala. It's a good cast including Cate Blanchette, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Anne Hathaway as an ego centric celebrity, and Rihanna as a stereotype bustlingly attractive hacker. It's enjoyable, a well put together caper film with the seemingly required "and here's the part we didn't tell you" twist at the end. The movie shows that a cast of talented women can anchor a film of this sort, but it doesn't show they can do it any better then the men because even when this movie is trying to be "imaginative" it still feels derivative.  I was pleasantly surprised by the Marlo Thomas cameo and if you know anything about Anna Wintour that joke version of herself is pretty funny. ***
