Ocean's Twelve

I came late to the party that was the Ocean's trilogy. Having seen eleven on TV I decided to rent the next two in order. If I had believed the majority of comments, I would have skipped twelve altogether. I'm glad I didn't.

For a film with so many big names, it would always be hard to get a plot to shine out from the divas (male and female) showboating. The only star in this that seems to be acting like a spoiled brat is Brad. The rest play their roles very well; becoming their character rather than sticking out like a sore thumb. The two British comedians (Robbie Coltrane and Eddie Izzard) continue to shine now they have both been in several films.

While the story might seem contrived. I imagine that a criminal who has been robbed of a vast sum of money, would look to get it back. What use would immediately killing them serve? Even if he had claimed on insurance.

As a big fan of the TV series Hustle, which only began in the shadow of 'Eleven' and continued after 'Twelve' I can see where the TV makers got their inspiration and even musical style. If I were to sum up for those who have watched the TV series; Ocean's Twelve is equivalent to a two part episode of Hustle, quite a bit of padding, slightly incredulous, very tenuous but overall, an enjoyable two hour romp with lots of eye candy for both sexes.

watch the movie Ocean's Twelve if you don't have any other movies in the world. Its a waste of time indeed.

no where near as good as the 1st film, why did i bother to watch it, only watched 1/2 of it and chucked it back to the post box, ok if you like drivel?

I think this film had a lot to live up when it proceeded Oceans Eleven, I don't think it quite had the cleverness of the first film so I was not as impressed although thats not to say it isnt a good film because it is. Well worth a watch, has the same humour as the first one and Danny Ocean has that fantastic slickness that he portrays like in eleven.

Great movie recommend watching all three, oceans 11 12 and 13 they're all good if you like thrillers. Great movie
