| Movie Description 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.

Top Reviews  Ocean's Twelve is Less than Ocean's ElevenReview created: 09/30/05 by:  11 of 19 people found this review helpful. If Ocean's Twelve had not followed Ocean's Eleven, my guess is that the reviews would be more favorable - but, for better or worse, Ocean's Twelve is a sequel and its predecessor, Ocean's Eleven, was an excellent movie and had tremendous success. The Ocean's Twelve cast is outstanding (Andy Garcia, Bernie Mac, Brad Pitt, Carl Reiner, Casey Affleck, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Cherry Jones, Don Cheadle, Elliott Gould, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Scott Caan, Vincent Cassel) with especially strong performances from Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta-Jones... but the writing is sub-par and really stretches at times. Ocean's Twelve is an extension of the first movie: three years after Danny Ocean's crew (Ocean's 11) robbed Las Vegas casino owner Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), Benedict is seeking revenge and the $160MM that was stolen. Benedict givens Ocean and gang two weeks to get the money - or else. Seeking quick, big money, Ocean's 11 plans a big heist in Amsterdam. Don't get me wrong - the movie is fun, has plenty of action and humor... my complaint is that it doesn't live up to Ocean's 11. Still an enjoyable ride.

Truthfully, its no ocean's eleven. But it isn't as bad as most people made it out to be. I actually purchased it. Its still the same cast and some additional appearances of A listers playing themself. Such as Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts? Yes.... Julia Roberts. You figure it out. In any case, it is a little over dramatic and less suspensful as the first. But nothing can be cooler than vegas and andy garcia right? well its a good sequel. Sequels weren't meant to be good. They were meant to satiate the audience's need for more. This does the job. And I feel like its done. Please NO OCEANS THIRTEEN. PLEASE.... But I would recommend buying it if you have the first.

I think it's best not to watch Ocean's eleven and Ocean's twelve back to back. But this movie has some merit to stand on it's own, and it certainly is worth a look. The story picks up wehre we find out that no one has truly retired... and suddenly not only does the casino demand it's money back, but now another thief "the Night Fox" is beating them at their good targets.... Romance (a new one) and cameos by Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts (as themsleves) make it fun, while there is plenty of action around the globe to keep you interested. Pop the Popcorn, grab a seat on the couch- and try not to take it's "lack of living up to Ocean's Eleven" to seriously. This movie is still a good watch! Review ID: 10000000000722387 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Should Have Been BetterReview created: 10/24/06 by: 2 of 5 people found this review helpful. What a superb cast they assembled for Ocean's Eleven. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, the underrated Andy Garcia, and so on. And what a good story. Then came Ocean's Twelve, same cast plus more. Story didn't cut it for me. Could have been better, but wasn't totally bad or anything like that. And I didn't even expect it to come close to Ocean's Eleven, but most the magic from the first movie is gone when watching this one. The tip of the iceberg is the really, really dumb scene with Julia Roberts trying to impersonate umm....Julia Roberts. If it hadn't been for Ocean's Eleven, this movie probably would have been alright by itself. But the bar was set too high for this movie, and it didn't even come close.

Ocean's Eleven and Ocean's Twelve are two of the greatest movies I've ever seen for various reasons, one of which is the fact that it has every single hot guy in Hollywood in it! I love the action and the jokes! It's just a great movie! Review ID: 10000000001991488 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
