not good. oh well.
i wonder who was the demographic this was intended for. its not clever, its not sexy, its not particularly funny. surprisingly the second half is better than the first / almost unbearable / half, but overall its quite the snoozefest.
and i love sandra bullock and really enjoy anne hathaway here. she actually generates most humor in this / that should tell you something.
not a disaster, but barely entertaining. lack of a good antagonist and yes lack of male chemistry kinda kills it. 5.5/10 from me.
what did you think?

I am sadly not surprised. This movie represents everything that is the problem with female representation in Hollywood Acton movies at the moment. Rather than use a new and original idea or make a movie on a successful novel or comic book series with a female lead they reuse the concept of a Rat Pack movie that has already been overused with female leads and when it fails they try to use it as an excuse not to make more Action movies with female leads. It is typical hollywood BS. I am far more interested in 'Birds of Prey' 'cause it is based on an original female team series (the biggest selling female team comic book series of all time) with original and awesome characters.

That's too bad. Hey, @deblovesbeccy did you hear about the action thriller that Jessica Chastain was planning? It's called 355.

weak story, the other Oceans were light on plot, but this was so forgettable. Should have brought Soderbergh back.

I’m sure it’s not very good, but I’m facepalming so hard at the fact that the most voted rating on IMDb is 1/10... “OH NO WOMEN!1” “OH NO PC!1”

i wonder who was the demographic this was intended for. A story about women who steal?
I am guessing, the Hillary voter.
