What is Anarchism

Danny Ocean and his gang are either repeated or mentioned or extended in the sequels titled Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve, Ocean's Thirteen, and Ocean's Eight movies. As Terry Benedict, the casino owner robbed by them, says: “Guys like Ocean… they keep coming back, they don't like to lose. Too much ego, too much pride.” Unlike in vast majority of cinematic narratives, all of the Ocean's films accommodate criminal characters (thieves) in leading roles. This makes these canonical sequels intriguing for scrutinization: a valid reason besides their popularity and box-office success. This chapter aims to put forth the reasons behind the popularity and box-office success of Ocean's films through investigating the dimensions such as the adopted narrative style, the script, the characters, as well as the chosen star actors in these productions. The text continuously refers to the relevant historical and theoretical framework in the field.
