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]

I went into this movie wanting enjoyable junk entertainment, and that's what I got.

Watching Clooney and crew is like the ultimate nerd dream--hanging out with the cool, sharp-dressed, fast-talking kids in school and living up every moment with them.

The film is just too smart and twisty for its own good.

...as a celebration of the chemistry and camaraderie among some of Hollywood's brightest stars, the movie dazzles.

very much a Soderbergh film, with his trademark jump-cuts and color schemes and various other amusing narrative devices.

Ocean's Twelve Soderbergh’s globe trotting sequel is a blend of retro cool, old-fashioned star vehicle, postmodern playfulness, and self-reflexivity.

Instead of audiences feeling a part of a nifty conspiracy to pull off an audacious robbery, viewers are left largely in the dark as Soderbergh & Co. conspire to trick them with sleight of hand and misdirection.

The story is so convoluted I doubt that it makes any sense even if you had the time or interest to concentrate. The best part of the movie is looking at Zeta-Jones

Twelve is not only the new Eleven, it's also the new Ishtar.

A sequel to a remake; just a few too many filters.

The film itself is like a glossy European fashion magazine come to life, with beautiful location shots, stylish direction from Steve Soderbergh and comfortable, winking performances.

Plays like The Italian Job in very slow motion ... a high gloss bore.

What's on screen is lazy, second-rate, phoned-in -- a heist in which it's the audience whose pockets have been picked.

Thinks it's hip, but its old-fashioned, anything-goes attitude is less engaging than vaguely obnoxious...far more fun for the performers than the viewers.

There’s so much mugging in this film that I kept checking my pockets to see if my wallet was missing.

It's the coolest, hippest caper movie since Ocean's 11, which makes me very excited!

A time capsule of the current A-list first and a motion picture second, it'd make a great calendar: one idol per month.
