A movie to be avoided.

Rating: 2/10 (24 April 2005)

Boring, hard to follow, difficult to understand what is being said (everyone mumbles and speaks over other actors), moronic and totally unbelievable story, tiresomely plain Julia Roberts, and a collection of thieves who would never in real life have become allies and several of whom are clearly certifiable. While it is bad enough trying to keep the various members of the 12 straight, it is impossible when it comes to third parties whose interests and motivations are unfathomable. It is ridiculous to even think that world-class thieves would enter into a childish contest. Finally, the mawkish ending looks like it was cut out of another movie and pasted here.
What a mess.
