Danny Ocean's European Vacation

Rating: 7/10 (26 February 2005)

First of all, anyone who said they were confused by this film or couldn't keep up with what was being stolen must been a bit slow. (Very mild spoiler ahead) Basically, Ocean's crew try to steal something, they are out-foxed by a master thief who then sets them a challenge to see who is the best. If they win, he gives them the money to pay of Benedict who is on their tales. Not difficult to follow. (End of spoiler) OK, it's not as strong as Ocean's 11 but if you enjoyed that film then there is something for you here. It still has a pervasive sense of fun and is brilliantly shot, and the cast has become even better with some choice additions and cameos. Vincent Cassel as 'The Night Fox' puts in a great performance, and especially memorable is his dance number (don't worry, you'll see). Yes this film has a few in-jokes, yes there are a couple of obvious twists, and yes it sometimes feels like they just decided to take a holiday in Europe and film it, but it is still worth the price of your ticket. Ignore the dullards who gave this a bad review, they missed the point.
