This is a below average second installment with again star-studded and a ridiculous screenplay

Rating: 3/10 (12 February 2005)

The movie centers at a new heist with Oceans's eleven but this time in Europe . The group is the same : Clooney , Pitt , Cheadle, Matt Damon, Scott Cahan, Carl Reiner.. They are blackmailed by Andy Garcia who tries to retrieve the money stolen from previous film . They are pursued by a clever and gorgeous Inspector , Catherine Zeta Jones , Brad Pitt's sweetheart .
This thrilling as well as hilarious hold-up film displays a twisted caper from the beginning to ending , comedy , turns , along with limited action of varied manner . It is starred by a famous group of Hollywood stars and several cameos who give lousy performances . The actors playing the leading roles all knew each other well and improvised dialogue as well as or better than the script . The comic relief being developed during the amusing relationship between the several and motley characters and their jokes among them . It has got an average screenplay and an usual final surprise . The film is developed in European scenarios : Ámsterdam , Roma , lagoon Como (where Clooney has got a mansion), but in spite of these marvelous places , there are barely outdoors . The picture is very boring and tiring , is slow-moving , there aren't action-packed , neither emotion , nor humor or suspense and a little intrigue . The first part of the series was an amusing yarn ,it had an exciting as well as surprising hold-up , here the heist is a manuscript only , the museum burglar results to be a disaster . However , the motion picture obtained success such as the previous ones ; in spite of , it turn out to be a bit dull and dreary . The movie is made for George Clooney and his friends , he's the host and main architect of the movie ; because living in ¨Como¨(Italy) where is shot part of the scenarios and the picture has been produced by Steven Soderbergh and the same Clooney.
Actors's interpretation is nefarious and awful : Brad Pitt does as Brad Pitt , and specially : Bruce Willis plays as Willis and Julia Roberts plays as Julia Roberts . Atmospheric musical score by saga ordinary , David Holmes . Colorful cinematography with luxurious interior scenarios , nicely photographed by the same , as usual, Soderbergh . Steven Soderbergh direction is mediocre , being lavishly produced by the ordinary ,Jerry Weintraub . The first part ¨Ocean's Eleven¨(2001) is much better than its sequels , being followed by ¨Ocean's thirteen¨ (2007) and with similar cast , technician team and direction . The flick will appeal to Ceorge Clooney and Brad Pitt fans. Rating: nearly to classify as turkey .
