Comedy/Crime/Thriller - 125 min — Directed by Steven Soderbergh
Cast: Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Don Tiffany
Set three years after "Ocean's 11," this sequel shows us Danny Ocean gathering up his complete gang of con artists and thieves from the first film who must deal with increasing pressure from a very mad Terry Benedict who want's his money back, a dedicated Europol agent with a link to Rusty's past, and a mysterious French rival known as the "Nightfox." Will Ocean's crew reach their full potential and become the greatest thieves the world has ever known, or will they fall victim to Benedict's revenge? All bets are off.
It started out fine, setting the whole thing up, but from the moment Zeta-Jones entered, I just knew how it would play out, and that her father was the master-thief she spoke of. And all while planning to steal the egg, I knew that it was a decoy, because the film went to too big lengths to set them up, there just had to be a hidden plot behind the scenes. And figuring out that it had to do with stealing the egg before the Nightfox could do it was a no-brainer. Wht? They didn't show the Nightfox operating at all, so it doesn't require much reflection to see that the fox would be out-foxed, yet think he's won. That said. it was still nicely done, but ultimately a letdown because of the see-through story.
