Ocean's Twelve

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2007)

It's all about the stars in the "Ocean's" movies. Above all, of course, there are George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. Everything is damn cool and easy, decisions are being made quick and nothing discountenances the Twelve. Clooney even stated in an interview that he makes movies like "Ocean's Twelve" to coin money, so that he's able to finance his not so mass-appealing productions. The "Ocean's" movies are there for the purpose of making money. Many critics blame them for this. But if you're honest they are very well made entertainment, that's their purpose and they achieve this with ease. Steven Soderbergh is the man who makes everything look that easy. He mixes different styles, shakes them and on screen the result is very chic. Of course, that's all very harmless, but why bother, as long as not all productions lose their edges, a few of them are fine. The thing that I really like about "Ocean's Twelve" is Catherine Zeta-Jones and her character. That's the proof: The more women, the better.
