Ocean's 8 is a very generic but well-constructed simple heist movie, with its much-trumpeted (as if that should be necessary) all-female ensemble lead cast proving to be the ace card here. Indeed, the formidable cast of talented actresses is superb, from the unstoppable Sandra Bullock to great contemporary roles for Cate Blanchett and Helena Bonham-Carter, and even Anne Hathaway nailing the comedy with some subtlety. The film has an effortlessly (and relentlessly) cool soundtrack, it is well-made and looks great, but its only real let-down is the lack of edge or real jeopardy, making for a pleasant and enjoyable if somewhat surprisingly undemanding viewing experience overall.
