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]

Ocean's Twelve is a very capable sequel. It's too bad it isn't quite as fun.

Sequel is more self-effacing and satisfying than 2001 picture.

It has an air of desperation; a feverish need to keep up the polished streetwise skill of its predecessor.

The movie is nothing more than an escapist diversion . . . taking you to sunny climes, displaying pretty people having a blast doing what they do best . . .

The real pleasure of Ocean's Twelve rests in the way it strips the enamel off of the glamorous celebrity vehicle and makes us think -- actually, seriously think -- about why we enjoy such air-brained entertainments.

2 big jobs, 5 heist attempts - 11 guys, 1 wife, 1 ex-girlfriend, 1 very angry casino boss, and 2 outside thieves - you do the math... it adds up to a good time at the movies.

The real-life camaraderie of Clooney, Pitt, Damon and the rest translates to the screen with charm and verve.

Star power and in-jokes make Ocean's Twelve an easy film to watch, but a hard one to care about.

Ocean’s Twelve is silly, but it looks great and the cast shares the fun they’re obviously having with the audience.

Twelve may be nowhere near the level of its predecessor, but it still works as a great ball of fun.

A goofy, stylish heist movie that'll steal moviegoers from other pictures as surely as Danny Ocean and his dirty dozen will get their hands on the Fabergé egg they've decided to filch.

The movie noisily conveys the messy joy of its making, and insists that you have a good time as well.
