After robbing a cool $160 million from the Bellaggio Hotel Casino and winning back his former wife, Tess (Julia Roberts), from Bellagio owner Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), Danny Ocean (George Clooney) is living quietly on the lam in Connecticut when he's unexpectedly approached by Benedict. It seems Benedict has tracked down

Hits a new low in condescending facetiousness, with no fewer than 15 performers of varying talents, tongues firmly in cheeks, undercutting all the genre's action conventions while camping up a storm on two continents.

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.

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

In this sprawling oglefest, such things as 'narrative' and 'story' are remote little abstractions indeed.

The whole thing is a piffle of fluff or a fluff of piffle. About halfway through you'll get an incredible hunger to see a movie.

In keeping with his general distaste for sequels -- this is his first, in fact -- Soderbergh has subverted all of the usual conventions, making the movie far more interesting than it has any right to be.

A top-rate cast makes up for the thin plot.

A self-indulgent lark if ever there was one. Lucky for us Steven Soderbergh is at the helm.

Ocean's Twelve is not as good a heist film as 2001's Ocean's Eleven. But it was never meant to be. (HD DVD Edition)

Modern anti-heroes. Criminals with heart. And these guys are stinkin' funny.

Infuratingly lazy and insultingly smug. My choice for the worst film of 2004.

...the only way [Bernie Mac and Eddie Izzard's] talent could have been less showcased is if they had been assigned to carpentry duty.

Bringing back this star studded cast for one more round may seem like a good idea before the writing stages of this film began, but honestly, it just retreads everything that happened during the first film, while trying too hard to top the dialogue and clever plot points. In the end, this film kind of falls flat on it's face, because everything just falls into place far too easily. Everything falls apart in the beginning when Terry Benedict, whom they robbed in the first film wants his money back, for no reason, because he clearly states that his insurance already paid it back to him. They find a way to get the money back, which seems too easy, and obviously it is, because they can't accomplish it. This film has no idea whether it wants to be believable or not. Halfway through I started getting bored and I really didn't care if these guys got placed in jail or succeeded. "Ocean's Twelve" had too much going for it, for what it actually is.
