"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

Ocean's Twelve | 2004 | PG-13 | - 3.4.5

George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Carl Reiner, Elliott Gould, Scott Caan, Bernie Mac, Casey Affleck, Shaobo Qin, Julia Roberts and Catherine-Zeta Jones all reprise their roles from "Ocean's Eleven." This time around, the crew is given two weeks to live when the casino owner they robbed in the previous installment comes looking for his money, plus interest. They decide their only recourse is to commit another high-paying robbery, and while trying to find a target, another master thief (Vincent Cassel) challenges them to a steal-off contest. Also with Andy Garcia, Scott Caan, Peter Fonda, Robbie Coltrane, Eddie Izzard, Bruce Willis and Albert Finney. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. [2:05]

SEX/NUDITY 3 - A man and a woman kiss while in bed; she wears a low-cut nightgown that reveals cleavage and bare shoulders. A man and a woman kiss in several scenes, and a man kisses a woman's hand. Two women in a jail cell ogle another woman as she enters the cell (the two women are dressed in short shorts and low-cut tops that reveal cleavage, bare abdomens and bare thighs). A bare-chested man with pajama pants on leaves a bedroom where a woman sleeps. We see many nude statues of men revealing bare buttocks and genitals.

A man with a cane pokes and shoves two other men. A man acts threateningly toward a woman when he asks about her husband's whereabouts (he taps her on the shoulder with his cane). A woman talks about the horrible conditions of a jail (as a ploy to make a man give evidence). Several people are arrested, they are held by the arms, they struggle and are handcuffed.

A man jumps out of a window (not terribly high off the ground, and he is presumably uninjured). A man is chased by the police and runs into a few people.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
