Profile of Ocean's Twelve

Ocean's Twelve can be described as clever, stylized, and exciting. The plot revolves around a heist, cons and scams, and criminal heroes. The main genres are comedy and crime. In terms of style, Ocean's Twelve is nonlinear, features an all-star cast, and has a Hollywood tone. In approach, it is realistic. The storytelling is fast paced. Ocean's Twelve is located in Amsterdam, Rome, and Paris. It takes place in contemporary times. The movie has received attention for being a blockbuster. Ocean's Twelve is well suited for a date night, teens, and a boys' night. Note that it involves mild violent content and profanity.

Summary of Ocean's Twelve

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.

So bad it will make you cringe at even the thought of the first one. Sequels should be squelched unless there really is more plot to cover or character to develop...there certainly was neither here.

Just as boring a cash-in as Ocean's Eleven, this is a mostly stale attempt at entertainment. It's fun seeing the "Twelve" try to outwit another thief-in-training, but you're going to be terribly disappointed in waiting two and a half hours for them...
