After pulling off the heist of their lives, Danny Ocean and his pals unexpectedly find themselves back in harness in this sequel to 2001's blockbuster hit Ocean's Eleven. After robbing a cool $160 mil... read more read more...lion from the Bellaggio Hotel Casino and winning back his former wife, Tess (Julia Roberts), from Bellagio owner Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), Danny Ocean (George Clooney) is living quietly on the lam in Connecticut when he's unexpectedly approached by Benedict. It seems Benedict has tracked down Danny and the ten men who helped him pull off the seemingly impossible robbery, and Benedict offers them a proposal -- if they can repay the $160 million in two weeks, he won't have them killed. As it turns out, both Danny and his best friend, Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), haven't been doing so well in terms of money management and could use some cash, so they set out to plan a robbery to recover the loot, with the same crew helping out -- Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon), Frank Catton (Bernie Mac), Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle), Saul Bloom (Carl Reiner), Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), Livingston Dell (Eddie Jemison), Yen (Shaobo Qin), Virgil Malloy (Casey Affleck), and his brother Turk (Scott Caan). Danny and Rusty discover that an incredibly rare Fabergé egg is being displayed at a museum in Rome which would fetch the price they need, but they soon discover a notorious cat burglar, François Toulour (Vincent Cassel), is also after the egg, and it turns into a race to see who can claim it first. Adding to the intrigue is Isabel Lahiri (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a woman Rusty used to be involved with who is now a top agent with Interpol and is after both Toulour and Ocean's crew. Shot on location in both the United States and Europe, Ocean's Twelve was, like its precursor, directed by the stylish Steven Soderbergh, who also photographed the picture under his nom de lens, Peter Andrews. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Fans of the first film are bound to find something in this movie. It has its flaws including a lack of logic and a flimsy plot. But I enjoyed it because of the likable cast and decent one liners.

    Nay sayers don't dislike the actual movie which is in many ways was just as stylish, hilarious and directed as the first but they seem to be infuriated at the self indulgent nature of the whole ordeal.

    Which makes me scratch my head, who gives a shit? What is this, some sort of ... read morepolitical emotional debate on the principals of franchises in film making? Get out.

    Oceans Twelve is an incredibly, fun, working sequel but it's important to stress that it's not so much an elaborate heist film as it is a mosaic of comedic character driven epilogues.

    As smug as it is loosely strung together at times it all eventually comes together and I have to give Nolfi credit for not creating another formulaic heist film about bringing a team together to do "one big job", rather, bringing in this larger than life "Nightfox" character and Europol love interest Lahiri to really shake things up giving the entire plot a sort of unpremeditated fluidity.

    I can see how it's lazy, as the audience is finally clued into the events that took place between gaps without so much as a hint that they took place and in the end, these big reveals just feel cheap.

    It's hardly perfect but entertaining as hell. The only thing I don't get is how did Matt Damon's character have no idea what was going on when he was shown pulling the egg from the train?

    "Ocean's Twelve". Known as the black sheep of the Ocean's trilogy. I disagree. The pacing is much more enthralling and though it may be more difficult to follow, it's much more rewardingly exciting.

    Not as good as the first but still a very entertaining and beautifully shot film from Steven Soderbergh.

    A decent sequel to Ocean's 11. Nothing that fantastic or groundbreaking but fun to watch when there's nothing else to do.

    Mediocre sequel to the cool Ocean's Eleven. This sequel is decent at best with a few interesting bits. This film stripped down the action, and it has lighter, more comedic script. I felt it was very silly, unlike the first one that combined action and comedy very well. This entry... read more focused more on being more silly this around, and it really didn't do much to elevate the film. I thought they a fine film with Ocean's Eleven, but with this sequel, it felt they had to strip everything down, and make it more "appealing" for viewers, as if that was necessary in the first place. This film has some good action, but the viewer may be distracted by the fact the story feels too comedic, too awful at times. I thought the end result of this sequel was a decent film that needed a lot of work to make it great. Unfortunately, filmmakers know that even when they cut corners in developing an awesome, serious story, people will always spend money to go see it. In the case of this sequel that's the absolute truth. The film is decent at best, and doesn't try to do anything great. The results is a decent film that's very silly and it manages to be entertaining, but it also makes you want something more in the process as well. A decent film to watch at least once, but go in with low expectations.

    Subtitle-happy, boring, pointless sequel that tragically doesn't draw a single laugh from your body until 80 minutes of the film have already passed.

    Maybe it's not as exciting as the first, which was truly a great film, but the second of this three-part series certainly wasn't terrible. Certainly this film features a few more laughs than the first and it has the great addition of the highly-attractive Catherine Zeta-Jones, bu... read moret it doesn't quite match the level of intrigue and fun that made "Ocean's Eleven" such a great film.

It does the hard work of being a light, smartly turned-out amusement, the sort of thing that's becoming more and more rare on the movie landscape these days. Full Review

In this sprawling oglefest, such things as 'narrative' and 'story' are remote little abstractions indeed. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

In keeping with his general distaste for sequels -- this is his first, in fact -- Soderbergh has subverted all of the usual conventions, making the movie far more interesting than it has any right to be. Full Review
