Ocean's 10 1/16

Rating: 5/10 (1 January 2005)

Did the all-star cast merely e-mail in their performances, or did they just co-incidentally turn up at a party together in Europe and decide to hire a cameraman to record the "who-could-be-the-coolest contest"? Except for the breathtaking beauty of Zeta-Jones and the all too rare screen appearances of the wonderful Andy Garcia, the remaining mish-mash was dull, boring and seemingly filmed in slow-motion. Matt Damon did attempt to act, but the rest of the cast seemed to be sleep-walking. "Ocean's 12" lacked the passion and humor of "11", and was so poorly edited that one could barely follow what little story line there was. Sorry George and Brad, your feeble attempt doesn't merit more than a 5 out of 10, or 10 1/16. Besides, who could ever be as cool as Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack in the original?
