Well... SPOILERS

Rating: 5/10 (12 December 2004)

I highly anticipated this movie, especially since I enjoyed Oceans 11 quite a bit. In order to make this a two hour movie, unnecessary scenes were included that were five minutes in length. Also, the plot was very complicated to follow. I really cannot compare this movie to Oceans 11, because it's not the same style, and it's not based in the same country. I felt that the story was extremely complicated, and anyone who wanted to simply watch the movie cannot follow it. I didn't even want to try and make sense out of it once I finished the movie. I often found myself looking at my watch on many scenes, wondering when they would move along. This movie wasn't what I expected, and I doubt that it will be what you expected too.
NOTE: BELOW CONTAINS SPOILERS, WHICH COULD RUIN THE MOVIE.
Parts of this movie were not needed, such as the long "Laser" scene which lasted about five minutes. Since they already completed the heist, was there a need to go back and have Julia Roberts pretend to be herself so they could pretend to get the egg? Was there a purpose for the crew getting arrested? It was also very fortunate that Linus had a mom who was in Interpol. This movie left too many questions to be answered.
