Review of Ocean's Twelve (2004) by Andre T — 28 Dec 2010
Sequel of Ocean's Eleven from 2001. Like its predecessor, which was a remake of the 1960 film of the same name, the film used a celebrity ensemble cast.Terry Benedict (Andy García) rounds up the original eleven members of Danny Ocean's (George Clooney) gang, demanding they return the $160 million they stole from his casinos with $38 million in interest.
Short by half, the group schemes to stage another heist in Europe to avoid problems with United States authorities. They are tipped off by an informant named Matsui (Robbie Coltrane) about the location of the first stock certificate ever issued in 1602, which was for the Dutch East India Company, owned by an agoraphobe and kept in his private home in Amsterdam.
While the certificate would not meet their debt, it would help extend their deadline. After a complex series of schemes, including raising the house a few inches to achieve a necessary line-of-sight, they find the document has already been stolen by another master thief "The Night Fox.
" With a lot of funny situations, this movie explores the same characters from the first movie.Great fun!
