*** Stars
They are back, all eleven of them in this sequel to 2001's box office hit, Oceans Eleven. During the making of Ocean's Twelve, the cast explained deeply that they had so much fun making the film, ultimetely making it a fun movie to watch.
Andy Garcia stars as Terry Benedict, a casino owner in Las Vegas who wants revenge on the heist that the crew pulled 3 years before. Even thought his insurance company payed off the debt, he wants financial satisfaction from the people he hates the most especially Daniel Ocean. Ocean stole his girl, stole his money, and stole the control of his casino's security. So now 3 years later, he gets a tip from an insider that it was Ocean who did for sure. So now all of them are back to return the fortune they stole from him 3 years earlier otherwise Benedict will put them into jail or eventually kill them. They decide to go to Amsterdam and steal a priceless artifact, that should be enough to pay off their debt.
They add a new character in the film which is the reason it is called Ocean's Twelve. Catherine Zeta Jones plays Isabel Lahiri, a detective working on a case that could end up in the hands of Ocean and his crew. Lahiri and Brad Pitt's character Rusty Ryan have a past relationship with one another and somewhat play a cat and mouse game during the film.
Another new character is François Toulour played by
Vincent Cassel. He has reason to believe that he is the best thief in the world and wants to challenge Ocean and his crew at a game of stealing. Whoever wins, gets the respect and the money.
There are many twists and turns in the film, making it interesting to watch. Although the first one was better because it was simply the original, that doesn't mean that the new Ocean's Twelve has style, comedy, drama, and everything you need to make the film be a lot of fun to watch.
