All fools day!

Three years ago, they teamed up to steal millions of dollars from a casino. This time around they seem to have decided it would be fun to rip off the audience for their money. I used to think that the purpose of "commercial" cinema was for the audience to be entertained at the expense of the cast and not the other way round.
The story goes somewhat along these lines ..fun fun fun ... lets go to Europe ...fun fun fun in Europe ..minor robbery ... private joke ... fun fun fun ... heist planning? ..fun fun "look we are such a hoot" ..julia plays "julia" ..whoopee! .. .fun fun oh sorry time's up ..movie over.
I have nothing against stars indulging in light banter ..but please don't film it and call it a movie. The only reason I have given two stars is for the first ten minutes; which are entertaining and Andy Garcia's menacing act is quite fun to watch.
If somebody still thinks "thirteen" is "bad luck", watch "twelve". You might just change your mind.
