In the same style of the original, Ocean's Eleven, this film begins three years after the Benedict Heist. The entire cast returns to reprise their roles and Catherine Zeta-Jones is added, but she is not Ocean's Twelve. In fact, I won't give that one away. I will let you watch the movie for yourself to figure that one out.

The story opens with Benedict (Andy Garcia) finding all of the members of Danny Ocean's (George Clooney) team. They are all split up around the world, so you get to see what they did after they stole all of the money. He gives them two weeks to return the money plus interest. Since they are too hot to steal in the U.S. they move to European soil. This definetly adds for great backgrounds and interesting locals. Different ones include Amsterdam, Rome, and France. The team takes up stealing again to try and raise the money that they need to pay Benedict back, but this time the twists and turns are even bigger the the original movie. They run into another thief, The Nightfox (Vincent Cassel), who thinks that he is better then the team of Ocean's Eleven. They strike a deal and begin to play the game and see who can steal the Faberge Egg first. I am not going to spoil anything for you here because you really need to see the movie.

With everyone reprising their roles you get to see them with the same problems and attitudes. Rusty (Brad Pitt) and Ocean still run the team and have conversations that are great. Linus (Matt Damon) puts his ever assertive foot forward and wants to play a bigger part this time, so Rusty and Ocean start grooming him for a lead role with the team. This adds for some great comedy. Frank (Bernie Mac) is still concerned with his appearance and it ultimately gets him in trouble. There are the Mormon twins Virgil (Casey Affleck) and Turk (Scott Caan) who still argue over the stupidest things. Yen (Shaobo Qin) is the grease man and still doesn't speak any English, but this time more then just Rusty can understand him. Bashar (Don Cheadle) does not blow up as much things in this one, but you still get to listen to him swear a lot. There is even a scene in the film that mocks the FCC and their current stand on indecent language. Saul (Carl Reiner) is still the old man who needs to be convinced that this is the right thing to do, but this time they don't convince him he does it himself. Rueben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) is the man with all the money to back the plans, but this time he actually plays a role in the heisting because his life is also at stake. Livingston (Eddie Jemison) has the computer equipment that all nerds salivated over in the original movie...this time there is even more. Isabel (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is a new character and the "girl" for this movie. Last film it was Tess (Julia Roberts). She is still in this movie and plays an even bigger part and a good twist in the story. Isabel is a detective for Europol who tries to find thiefs and she is the love interest of Rusty.

Okay, enough about the characters. If you loved the first movie then you will love the second one. It has a great story and enough twists and turns to keep you interested, but not confused for the two hours. Plus there are cameos galore including Albert Finney, Bruce Willis, Topher Grace, and James Zahn. Topher and Bruce are cameos as themselves. I really want to tell you more, but with Soderbergh throwing in stuff I don't want to give the great storyline away...so get off or your butt and head to the nearest theatre right now.
