Audience write-ups from TMDB

It’s hard to get too worked up about one person, especially when that person is French. The Ocean’s franchise has expanded internationally, and I’m really enjoying it.

The initial Ocean's 11 felt polished and stylish, ranking among the better re-imaginings of classic stories. However, Ocean’s Twelve feels like a misfire, relying too heavily on its actors while seeming to frantically pack in as much story as possible. The narrative bounces around quite a bit, yet it still manages to sideline most of the returning performers from the first film. Catherine Zeta-Jones is present for…
