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]

Soderbergh and his scenarists, George Clayton Johnson, Jack Golden Russell and George Nolfi, are doing a jazz riff. This isn't a caper movie at all, it's an improvisation on caper themes.

... there's a limit to how much smug, self-indulgent fun we can stand, and this movie comes dangerously close to that limit.

Such an amiably lazy sequel that you half expect it to crawl out from under the screen, curl up at your feet and take a doggie nap.

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 European scenery is so distracting and the actors are so slick you may not notice the most valuable thing stolen is your time.

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

It's about as mesmerizing as watching Clooney, Pitt, Roberts and the gang walk the red carpet at a movie premiere.

Resonating with Rat Pack ring-a-ding-ding, it's a silly sequel but, considering star value alone, it should sell a lot of popcorn.

[F]eels forced where Eleven is natural and instinctive; this new one is smug where the original is casually laid-back.

Pure arrogance, taking its predecessor's success as license to do absolutely, unquestionably whatever the hell it wants.

Sassy, classy con flick sequel is like jazz improv from a room full of pros -- smooth, stylish and swingin' fun.

It's the most high-end junk food imaginable, completely unnourishing and forgettable afterward, but delicious and all but impossible not to enjoy while it's in front of you.

Instead of delivering an even modestly clever riff on the heist genre or worthy follow-up, they are be-boppin’ and scattin’ all over themselves and the audience.

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

A super slick, super smart heist sequel …a fast-paced tale of ego and revenge concocted as a labyrinth of time jumps, double crosses, twists and surprises.
