WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
When
it looks like Andy Garcia's
Terry Benedict has plans to take
back the money Danny Ocean and
the guys stole from him in the
first movie by whatever force
necessary, Ocean is forced to
gather together his team to pull
off another heist...this time to
pay back Benedict.
SO
IS IT ANY GOOD?
A
definite feel good caper movie and whereas Ocean's 11 was all about
style and pulling off the perfect heist Ocean's 12 is more about the
guys getting together; There is certainly a more light hearted feel
about the whole production and the movie itself is easily the equal of
its predecessor.
A
party feel hangs over the movie, Clooney, Pitt, Damon and Co are clearly
enjoying themselves immensely, special kudos must go to Elliot Gould
though as the cigar chomping, outrageous glasses wearing Reuben Tishkoff
and Catherine Zeta Jones is bang on as the Europol agent
Isabel
Lahiri, sexy and confident she probably has the best role of all in the
movie, her character binding the whole plotline together and with its
locales moving from LA to Amsterdam to Paris to Rome the movie looks
fantastic too. Only Julia Roberts seems slightly under par although
there is a funny subplot about her character resembling a certain film
star called Julia Roberts.
Ocean's
12 is an old style Hollywood movie, glamorous, big of budget, high on
style and a definite must see.
