sequence of mostly listless cameos and no thrill

Rating: 2/10 (2 July 2005)

Summary says it all. Oh heck they want 10 lines here, hmm. Occasional nice scenery, photos of jets flying overhead in swivel/pan shots just like in the 60s. A few other nods to other films, like the laser dance Cassel does mocks Zeta-Jones in Entrapment. Actually, Cassel (or his stunt double) is consistently watchable, at least someone is having fun. Some of the cameos actually have some life, a few of the stars actually have enough dialog or action to occasionally show some chops. All the heists are boring. No use is made of the potential for suspense. In this case we won't need to worry about an unlucky 13, hopefully "12" ends this franchise.
