Why Ocean's 12 Is Actually a Good Movie

Steven Soderbergh’sOcean’s Elevenis a blast, and an infinitely rewatchable movie. But it’s so light and breezy that perhaps we all thought a sequel would be easy. After all, you’ve got a charismatic cast and all you have to do is make them stage an elaborate heist. ButOcean’s Twelverested entirely on not only the charisma of the cast and Soderbergh’s direction, but showing them as out of their depth. The guys who had managed to rob the Bellagio spend the entire movie with a gun to their heads, trying to find a way to steal $197 million, and they’re repeatedly thwarted....

Really, it feels like creatorAustin Winsbergand co. would have teed enough excitement for a third season just by having Max break it off with Rose (Katie Findlay) for Zoey, but having Max hear a heart song just blows the doors wide open to loads of new possibilities, ones that could undoubtedly keep this ability fresh and fun moving forward while also adding new layers to the characters in the process....
