Ocean's Twelve (2004) 8/10

Starring : George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Julia Roberts, Carl Reiner, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Vincent Cassel
Director : Steven Soderbergh
Running Time : 121 mins

It’s been three and a half years since Terry Benedict (Garcia) was robbed by criminal mastermind Danny Ocean (Clooney), but now Terry wants his money back. So Danny is forced to reform his group of cons to pull off a number of heist to reclaim Benedict’s fortune, but everything seems to go against him as they find themselves getting repeatedly set up to take a fall, and also meet some stiff competition from a French criminal known simply as The Night Fox (Cassel).

I actually thought this was marginally better than the previous instalment, with a lot more going on throughout and the characters seeming to have more drive than before. It did run a little long for my liking, but this wasn't too noticeable as the movie flowed a lot better than it's predecessor.
