Average Rating:5.9/10

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]

A bit of a mess. But a fun mess. Surfacey, fluff, chockfull of twists, and clever banter. An expansive cast lacking a single character with weight.

Meanders for a considerable time, looking for a plot, and by the time the movie hits its stride, it's a bit too late.

The film is fun to watch, has a great soundtrack, but falls a little short on the story. Still it should prove a fun movie experience for most.

Same cast, the same crew, the same budget, and nearly the same story as the 2001 blockbuster-remake.

It may be fluff, but it's some of the best fluff you're ever going to get.

I can't tell whether the last sequence is part of the storyline or if it's footage from the wrap party; in either case, I can only report that we aren't really invited.

May be one of the most glamorous, goofy and heartfelt films about failure ever made.

All in all, this isn’t as good as it’s predecessor, but this’ll more than do.

Some of the bits are hysterical, but others fall flat.

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.

It's a throwaway movie, a harmless time-waster, but it'll make money, and moviemakers and viewers alike will most likely have a cheerful time with it.

Ocean’s Twelve is clearly the work of filmmakers and stars who have come to play. It’s not art and it’s not substantive, but it sure is a blast.

Not quite up to the glitzy fun standard of Eleven, but Twelve is still fun.
