“Ocean’s 8” (*** out of four) was a fast and loose female reboot of the heist series about a recently released convict Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) who gathers an all-female crew (Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, and others) to attempt a daring heist at the yearly meeting at the NYC Met Gala involving a prime target (Anne Hathaway). Director Gary Ross ably duplicates the style and ease of director Steven Soderbergh from his previous “Ocean’s” films and the first-rate cast acquits themselves nicely. Blanchett is a standout as usual and Rihanna proves her acting flair in a dynamic supporting role.
