+ 12 is the new 11 +
 2 weeks ago i was thinking: "This is it folks, the coming of the twelve is near... my most eagerly anticipated movie of the year. It had better match up to the incredible standards set by its predecessor, the cult-legend Ocean's 11. It didn't have 9 min car chases or rape scenes, it didn't have a hail of bullets n barrells of blood, and it didn't give us meaningful insights into the philosophies of life. But was still gave us the coolest flick of the new millenium... i almost pity the guys who have to live up to their own legacy."
Watched it on the opening day...duh...strange how the concept has evolved while the true essense remained. The scam was a on truly massive scale, sometimes a little too bewildering... and the winners in this movie was a complete surprise. A little funnier than ocean's 11, killer soundtrack and acting, same great style of directing. The only downside? 1 too many flashbacks to explain the final heist. It took away some of the impact. But on the whole, the improvements covered up the flaws. The legacy still lives... still one of the coolest shows this year. ole!
