Story:This is the sequel to the December, 2001 crime caper hit, Ocean' s Eleven( which was itself a remake of the 1960 " Rat Pack" movie, starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, Angie Dickinson, Cesar Romero and Norman Fell, which was famously filmed in Las Vegas while each of the Rat Pack members were also performing at the Sands Hotel). The 2001 movie opened to $50 million, and ended up grossing $183 million in the U.S. alone.
Danny Ocean, reignited flame Tess and the rest of a band of thieves and con men (some returning and some new), team up for another three huge heists, but this time they' re in three different locations (Rome, Paris and Amsterdam) (perhaps handled by three groups of four thieves each?). In Amsterdam, the prize is Rembrandt' s " De Nachtwacht" painting, which resides at the Rijksmuseum. Meanwhile, casino owner Terry Benedict, whom Ocean and crew ripped off in Las Vegas, is hot on their tail, looking for revenge...

My Opinion

I thought the 2001 remake was awsome. However, I don' t see the sequal coming to similar success. Hopefully its just as stylish and clever as the first.
