Ocean's 8 is the perfect movie at this very moment when women power is being questioned most especially here in the United States and back home in the Philippines. Led with Sandra Bullock who plays Debbie Ocean, the sister of George Clooney's character Danny in the previous films and Cate Blanchett who has the Brad Pitt role as the BFF, Ocean's 8 is one lighthearted fun heist fare catered in the age of social media.
After they assembled women with different backgrounds, ethnicity and skills, they plan to rob a very precious necklace that will be used by one of the celebrities (Anne Hathaway) in the annual MET Gala in New York City. Vegas is so old school, the gala with stars and those who became stars because of self promotion is the in thing to be in. The premise has a feel-good vibe to it because we actually get a chance to cheer women to get something from self-absorbed people. It's fun to see the three Oscar winners sharing screen time with a cast as diverse from Rihanna, Mindy Kaling, Awkwafina who is poised to be a breakthrough star this year with a role in the upcoming Crazy Rich Asians, Sarah Paulson and Helena Bonham-Carter. They all have awesome chemistry and I wouldn't mind seeing them all together again in a second act.
