Consensus: While some have found the latest star-studded heist flick to be a fun, glossy star vehicle, others declare it’s lazy, self-satisfied and illogical.

Runtime: 2 hrs 5 mins

Genre: Comedies

Back in slick style, OCEAN'S TWELVE reintroduces Ocean (George Clooney) and his perfectly trained team of con men, who are determined to take on Europe. Dividing forces to hit Paris, Amsterdam, and Rome, the heist-meisters move beyond casinos to tackle new objectives, one of which involves stealing a famous painting. With OCEAN'S TWELVE, Steven Soderbergh re-teams with his high profile friends for another glamorous romp through the high-stakes underworld. Three years after Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his crew robbed Las Vegas casino tycoon Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) of one hundred sixty million dollars, Benedict has finally tracked them down. He gives them a two-week ultimatum to come up with the money or suffer the consequences. Knowing that the odds are stacked against them, the gang nonetheless heads to Amsterdam for a big heist. But what no one realizes is that ultra-smooth Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) has ulterior motives for leading the gang to Amsterdam. Turns out his former flame, Isabel Lahiri (Catherine Zeta-Jones), is living and working there tracking criminals such as Ocean and French master Francois Toulour (Vincent Cassel), better known as "The Night Fox." Threatened by the universally admired eleven, Toulour challenges Ocean to a dangerous museum heist that will either make or break the gang once and for all. It's up to Tess Ocean (Julia Roberts) to fly into town and bail the boys out of trouble. Every frame of OCEAN'S TWELVE is bursting with gleeful energy, as is the film's soundtrack, provided by acclaimed musician David Holmes. [More]

Ocean's Twelve isn't much better than its predecessor, but at least there's a more focused attempt to create something tangible.

Ocean’s Twelve demeure un film sympathique et divertissant, mais sans plus et surtout pas au niveau du premier film.

Aren’t these guys and gals just enjoying themselves on our dime and calling it a movie? Sure they are, but it works again.

Jeez, this seems like a lot of talent for such a so-so movie.

That Steven Soderbergh is able to make a borderline-engaging flick out of such a flimsy story is a sign of his skill.

It is funny, but not AS funny; it is surprising, but not AS surprising; it is good but not AS good.

Never taking a moment to look at itself without rose-coloured sunglasses, the film becomes a joke about Hollywood with no punchline.

This film's twelve times better than anything else on offer at the moment.

Much of the pleasure of this wily cinematic exercise is watching Soderbergh and his crew bury the complex plot line's points under what appear to be a willfully perverse series of in-jokes and such.

It defies a minimum critical standard: providing a framework for the jokes that at least makes sense.

Twelve may be nowhere near the level of its predecessor, but it still works as a great ball of fun.

The movie is nothing more than an escapist diversion . . . taking you to sunny climes, displaying pretty people having a blast doing what they do best . . .

Mocking and torturing Julia Roberts on screen is always fun. And the movie has a few other laughs as well.

Star power and in-jokes make Ocean's Twelve an easy film to watch, but a hard one to care about.

Sequel is more self-effacing and satisfying than 2001 picture.
