Big Time Thieves, Big Time Flop...

Rating: 2/10 (7 June 2017)

Horrible, horrible, horrible, shall I continue?
Firstly, I want to start by saying I really enjoyed the Oceans 11 movie. It was a witty, funny and well thought out movie that was very suspenseful in the right places and had a great ending.
This one was an attempt to bring back Oceans 11 by following a similar plot only messing it up entirely. I'm being very generous giving this movie 2 stars but here are the reasons why I disliked this movie:
1) Trying to be non-linear but not giving any background or at least enough to understand the plot. I know the other movie was like this too but it gave you enough information to understand what the f*** is going on.
● How did Brad Pitt know Catherine Zeta (the characters I mean)? Was he stalking her and just liked her in a creepy way from afar? She see's him being chased by police and yet still falls in love with him?
● Between when and when did that opening scene fall under, right before she figured out he's a thief?
● How did the fox thief guy know they all were somehow connected to the robbery? Is there like a social media for thieves so when any big thieves commit robberies the whole thieving community knows about it? Was it the other big thief guy who told him that and how did he know if it was him? Like couldn't they have explained that part a little more??
● Besides that just how many cut scenes there were bouncing from one place to the other, like with Clooney and Brad Pitt. It's like all chaotic and no explanation or back story like that's horrible...
2) OK, this one really was like OK but why put this in? The "let's be edgy and make Julia Roberts character play Julia Roberts!!" So cool right? No... They were so out of ideas they had to include that and while you're at it throw in a random character Bruce Willis to make an awfully boring and long scene of him trying to flatter her, ugh...
3) Dancing through the lasers...really?! Come on was that really necessary to put in? That is like nearly impossible to do and he was doing it as though he knew the movement of the RANDOMIZED lasers...
Seriously I tried enjoying this movie but it was a complete flop, can't imagine what the Oceans 13 is like...
