Ocean’s 8 (2018)
A slick heist film with an all-women cast. Sandra Bullock stars as Danny Ocean’s sister Debbie in a fresh crime flick that combines high fashion and humour as Debbie’s specialist team targets the annual Metropolitan Gala.
IGN said, “Ocean’s 8 is the most satisfying installment in the franchise. The all-star cast is impeccable, the shift in focus yields sharp insights, and the heist itself is wily and enjoyable. What the film lacks in suspense it makes up for in style, and that style has undeniable substance.”
The female-led cast includes:
- Sandra Bullock as Debbie Ocean, a thief and Danny Ocean’s sister.
- Cate Blanchett as Lou Miller, Debbie’s friend and partner-in-crime.
- Anne Hathaway as Daphne Kluger, an actress.
- Mindy Kaling as Amita, a jeweller.
- Sarah Paulson as Tammy, a suburban mom.
- Awkwafina as Constance, a street hustler and petty thief.
- Rihanna as Nine Ball/Leslie, a skilled hacker.
- Helena Bonham Carter as Rose Weil, a fashion designer.
