Ocean's 8

Like a copy of a copy (2001) of a copy (1960), Ocean's 8 is a bit faded, a bit predictable but easy on the eyes.  Sandra Bullock stars (you made your money right there) as Debbie Ocean, sister of the now decease Danny Ocean, who apparently died in a freak gardening accident. Debbie, fresh out of prison, meets up with her Brad Pitt, her Frank Sinatra (Cate Blanchette) to pull off the heist she's been planning in prison.

The ruse is get the fabulous Cartier necklace out of hiding - and steal it.  They come up with an elaborate plan with designer Rose (Helena Bonham Carter) to get Daphne (Anne Hathaway) to wear it.  That's a pretty interesting setup.

Then the team gets to work and you know the rest of the story.  An interesting character the insurance adjuster John Frazier (James Corden) gives this a Double Indemnity angle.  Maybe we should be a remake of that classic.  The pieces are here, just telling a different story.
