Tagline
Twelve is the new eleven.

That’s the question. Maybe eleven was enough.

Plot
Three years after their master theft, Ocean’s (George Clooney) team is set for another challenge. This time set by their biggest rival, the Night Fox (Vincent Cassel). He is determined to prove towards his master that he is better than Ocean. He challenges them to steel an art object within 48 hours after it is exposed in the museum. During the theft it seems the Night Fox is going to win the challenge, but of course Ocean stays a step ahead as the weird and unrealistic twist shows us at the end of the film.

Acting
The great acting of the famous cast cannot save this film. Though they make it more entertaining, it is at some points boring and the twist is too far fetched to be convincing even for this list of actors. The most surprising part of this film was seeing Bruce Willis (playing himself) sitting in the foyer of the museum. Julia Roberts (playing Ocean’s wife) pretends to be (very surprising) Julia Roberts to get into the museum near the art object which is to be stolen and Bruce ‘recognizes’ her.

Verdict: A very minor 6 out of 10. Rent this one for a boring Thursday evening if you have nothing better to do. Hold the remote in your hand though, to fast forward some parts. This will make the film less boring and less long.
