No, it's not a film set on a boat like I may have thought at one point!!!

Ocean's eleven was a fantastic film containing every element a good film should. Eye candy for the ladies, eye candy for the gents, romance, comedy, quit wit, bad V good and a consistent plot. George Clooney plays bad boy Danny who plans to enter the world's most secure vault in order to steal millions from Casino owning Terry Bennedict who stole Danny's wife. He creates a gang including a retired thief, poker expert/card dealer, pickpocket, flexible Chinese acrobat, expert in explosives and more!
This film includes big names including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Elliot Gould, Carl Reiner, Andy Garcia, Julia Roberts...the list goes on!
I found ocean's twelve a bit of a disappointment after how fantastic ocean's eleven was. The same great cast but I felt it was a little more disjointed compared to the seamless writing of eleven. It also includes Catherine Zeta-Jones with a rather dodgy accent! Here, Ocean's original eleven have been tracked down by Furious Terry Benedict and are forced to flee America and carry out three heists across Europe to attempt to pay back his money. The film is set out using the 2 week countdown by which time they have to have Terry's money. This creates a sense of urgency, however the mixed time scale with flashbacks made it quite hard to follow at times.
Personally I prefered the single plot in Ocean's 11 to the bussier Ocean's 12. Still a great film and very cleverly written but not as good at it's predecessor.

I managed to pick up the 2 disk DVD for just £7 so a complete bargain and well worth it!

Looking forward to Ocean's 13!

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
