I feel lost

Rating: 5/10 (10 December 2016)

After watching Ocean's eleven, I was eager to see what's Twelve has in store for me. I was expecting something of the same vein with the crew planning another one big score but against someone else as ruthless as Andy Garcia who could get back in the picture to make the things trickier.
But I am quite deceived and I feel lost. The casting is still here, Europe is certainly a nice change of setting, Steven Soderbergh is still the director but this movie lacks a story. Why did they think that multiplying the heists would make this movie better than the first one? Did they run out of ideas? And please can someone explain me how they could have made the antagonist so weak and cheesy after the Great Andy Garcia?
No offense against Vincent Cassel who is a great actor but it seems so cliché. Is it because he's French that he succeeded to bypass that laser field dancing the tango? I have seen some of the movies he starred in including one called the Hate. In it he's ruthless and very dark. He inspires fear. In Ocean Twelve, it's almost if we would laugh at his face!
I also have some doubts about Catherine Zeta-Jones character. She is supposed to be an honest cop. Someone who truly believes in her duty to arrest criminals and thieves but still at the end she's becoming a part of the team? Please!
Oh and one last thing, Europol has never been an investigative agency. It's not the European FBI. They are just sharing expertise and information to police forces throughout the EU. They don't investigate and certainly not borrow entire services and resources to their own benefit. This is beyond silly. At least do some research before writing the script.
