    After having taken in eleven (really liked it) and twelve (didn't really like it), we thought that we would give thirteen a try this weekend. I had heard that the (alleged) finale was somewhere between the first two movies and I think that is accurate.

    The first film featured a heist and the way that the heist was pulled off was really clever. Once they told you the rest of the story, you saw how the answer was in front of you and you missed it. The second film featured a heist and you were thorougly confused by the ending as to how it happened. They then went back and showed it to you and... well, you had no chance of knowing all that they showed you and that was completely unrewarding.

    The third film was kind of a mix. It was another heist but the entire movie was the heist. That in itself is ok, but the series of events in the heist were so implausible that at some point you just have to ask really? By the end of the film I was half-expecting a Blazing Saddles ending. I just don't think that rigging all of the vegas games and then causing an earthquake underneath the hotel works for me. Besides, if they could rig the vegas games, why wouldn't they just do that and make that the way to get their buddy his casino?
