ocean 12if you steal fifty million dollar and they will find you . ( alan rickman a han gruber and die hard ) this adage certainly ring true in this sequel . terry benedict have be inform that danny ocean and his compadres be the one who rip him off and now he want it all back . the ocean gang need a lot of money and fast and but can not work in the state a benedict have make it impossible for them . so it off to europe to perform act of death defying thievery and whilst try to avoid catherine zeta jones super cop and an old flame from rusty ( pitt ) past . on their first heist in amsterdam they find out that who rat on them be the night fox and a super slick thief with a legend complex . he issue them with a challenge that could write off their debt in full or land them in some kind of uma thurman kill bill ii bury alive type sequence . interesting . well and yes . slow . sort of . entertain . mostly . unnecessary scene of character development . plenty . ocean and his band of merry men be charismatic and if nothing else and a this be a sequel and we be all old friend we see plenty more pally situation and conversation . too many . damon linus be more nervous than before while the cousin be bicker a we know they would while bernie mac talk too much and don cheadle cock er ney accent be as bad a ever ( i really like cheadle and but could not abide this ) . pitt and clooney talk like old friend and fill each other glass and read each other mind . however and what work so well in the last film be the lack of character development versus how slick the whole damn op be . and as much a these actor work well together and zeta jones fit into this film like a big square peg in a tight 11 side hole . she simply doesn not fit and her chemistry with pitt be non existent . the star of this film for me and however and be vincent cassel a the night fox and soderbergh choice of location . cassel play pomp and wealth a if he be bear into both . his night fox be arrogant and awfully cavalier with other people life ( danny ocean ) and a total contrast to the ocean gang . this be where i think the film lose it way . cassel and the european location provide an all too realistic contrast with the american actor and the style of the first film . we want slick and brash and quick witted while not gritty and consider and intellectual . this be where the film doesn not work . admittingly and you can not repeat the same formula twice to the letter and but go to far left or right usually do more damage than good in a mainstream film like this .
