The heist movie franchise with a weird numbering system returns with Ocean’s 8. This isn’t a pre-pre-prequel to the original, which started with “eleven”, but an all female driven spin-off. Freshly released from prison, Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock), estranged sister of the now deceased Danny Ocean (previously George Clooney) plans an ambitious heist to steal a necklace worth over $150 million from the annual Met Gala in New York. The twists and turns come as standard for an Ocean’s movie as the story plays out. The movie’s strength lies in the female ensemble cast’s chemistry. Bullock’s crack team of crooks include Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna and Awkwafina, who are trying to relieve Anne Hathaway’s A-list celeb character of her pricey accessory.
