​My age recommendation: 13+ (Due to some violence, language, and sex related dialogue).

​The Ocean's Movie series has been around since Ocean's 11 (the first movie in the series) came out in 2001. Then, after critics loved this movie, they made another one, which honestly was boring. Then, they made Ocean's 13, which wasn't as bad as Ocean's 12, but still wasn't as good as Ocean's 11. And now they made Ocean's 8. The plot is about Danny Ocean's (he is the main guy in Ocean's 11, 12, and 13) sister getting released from jail, and her future plans for life. She decides to form a group of people with her friends in it to steal the Toussaint necklace from a famous model who's wearing it to a fancy party. If this heist is performed perfectly, each person who helped steal it would get 13 million dollars when the necklace is sold for the money. Was this movie any good? Yes, it was. Again, it's not as good as the original Ocean's 11 movies, but it was very good. The actors were amazing, the plot was amazing, and the characters were amazing. The one problem about this movie that would have made it incredible would be the fact that they explained the heist in perfect detail. You're probably thinking that this was a good thing. It's not. Doing this makes the audience know exactly what's going to happen. In Ocean's 11, part of what made it good was the fact that it didn't tell you everything that the people were going to do to rob the casinos. If they would have not explained everything in Ocean's 8, it would've been 5 stars for sure. Overall, this is a good movie with one exceptional mistake.
