Awful, Awful, Awful

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2005)

I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've walked out of a movie in the middle or turned off the video/DVD. Ocean's Twelve belongs to that undistinguished group. Unlike Ocean's Eleven (the modern remake, not the original), this movie has remarkably little going for it despite the presence of a gifted, star-quality cast. Since I gave up after half an hour, thoroughly uninvolved in the story's premise and in its execution, I can only say that this film has the worst beginning of any movie I've seen in the past decade. It may have improved at later stages but I wasn't willing to stay around to see if it did.
