And then some. Twelve is the new eleven when Danny Ocean and pals return in a sequel to the cool caper that saw them pull off a $160 million heist. But 160 million doesn't go as far as it used to. Not with everyone spending like sailors on leave. Not with a mysterious someone stalking Danny and crew. It's time to pull off another stunner of a plan?or plans. With locations including Amsterdam Paris and Rome the direction of Steven Soderbergh and the original cast plus Catherine Zeta-Jones and others Twelve is your lucky number.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 085393894825 Manufacturer No: 38948 Amazon.com: Like its predecessor Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve is a piffle of a caper, a preposterous plot given juice and vitality by a combination of movie star glamour and the exuberant filmmaking skill of director Steven Soderbergh (Out of Sight, The Limey). The heist hijinks of the first film come to roost for a team of eleven thieves (including the glossy mugs of Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bernie Mac, and Don Cheadle), who find themselves pursued not only by the guy they robbed (silky Andy Garcia), but also by a top-notch detective (plush Catherine Zeta-Jones) and a jealous master thief (well-oiled Vincent Cassel) who wants to prove that team leader Danny Ocean (dapper George Clooney) isn't the best in the field. As if all that star power weren't enough--and the eternally coltish Julia Roberts also returns as Ocean's wife--one movie star cameo raises the movie's combined wattage to absurd proportions. But all these handsome faces are matched by Soderbergh's visual flash, cunning editing, and excellent use of Amsterdam, Paris, and Rome, among other highly decorative locations. The whole affair should collapse under the weight of its own silliness, but somehow it doesn't--the movie's raffish spirit and offhand wit soar along, providing lightweight but undeniable entertainment. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Your Time Is Valuable - This Film Steals ItSteven Soderbergh has made some very good films, this isn't one of them. Lots of talent in the cast, with the exception of Brad Pitt of course, who continues to embarrass himself, and us, with his impersonation of an actor. Having so much recognizable talent on screen is very distracting from the story, which is unfortunate, since there is no story worthy of the name. The script, if one may use such a lofty term to describe it, is simply wretched - some scenes contain dialog that is truly cringe ...

I've watched this one three times and each time I disliked it more than before. It's just boring. Sorry Ocean fanatics. Hollyweird got sloppy with this one, expecting droves of people to come into the theater just because of the cast. Wrong!!! Great cast with a barely passable story. Rent it if your curious, ... Read More Rating: - About emperors and clothes...This is probably not the worst film I ever saw (that must have been some pretentious "artistic", "expressionistic" crap) but it is definitely among the stupidest. The director shows not a grain of respect for the intelligence of a common viewer and just keeps parading actors on the screen talking nonsense, doing improbable and in the end achieving impossible. If all this would have been infused with some self-deprecating wit and humor *maybe* it could have been viewable (just ... Read More Rating:  - Not great, but not terrible, eitherI know there are a lot of negative reviews out there of Ocean's Twelve. While I think it's the weakest movie of the trilogy, I don't think it's terrible. There are things about it that I don't like, but there are also things about it that I like, and these positive things make the movie watchable and enjoyable, at least for me. First, the negative aspects of the film. There are three major problems that I see. First, the plot is unnecessarily complex. One of the many positive traits about Ocean's ... Read More Rating:  - the one I watch the mostAm I the only one who, when compelled to reach for an Ocean's flick, goes for 12 more than the others? I think it's because 12 is the least straight forward. Perhaps the base audience for Ocean's like their caper flicks straight forward. I don't know. For me, it sets itself up for repeat viewings, to try to figure it out knowing how it turns out. I would say the first 3/4s holds my attention better than any other part of the series (except that verbal restaurant duel between Tess and Danny in ... Read More |
