Review of Ocean's Twelve

6/10
Whadda mess!
18 April 2005
"Ocean's Twelve" wastes a stellar cast and great locations on a poor follow up to "Ocean's Eleven" (2001). A step down for Soderbergh, this film is another caper flick which finds Danny Ocean (Clooney) reassembling his crew for another heist to pay off the debt due from the previous film's heist. In this convoluted mess, our hero not only has to outwit the police but also pit himself against the world's greatest thief. A messy conglomeration of the same elements which made the 2001 flick entertaining, "Ocean's Twelve" simply tries too hard to do too much with too little time resulting a bad case of sequelitis. Only for those who went nuts over the first film, this flick is best saved for a freebee TV watch. (B-)
