Factual error: The scene where Nightfox steals the Faberge Egg is all wrong. A laser security system must have a photoelectric receptor at the other side to detect if somebody pass between the two devices. As shown in the film, the laser beams points everywhere, so the system can't work and somebody could cross a beam without starting the alarm. Even if it was some weird system based on measuring distance it wouldn't work - if the laser hits the floor at an angle it won't bounce back to the source, it will reflect towards the ceiling.

I watched this movie on Netflix.
I don't understand the hate I hear for this movie.
It seems well enough reviewed yet I hear all the time from some places like Cinema Sins podcast and other reviews how this whole movie "you can tell they just wanted to go on vacation and filmed a movie while there" sort of deal.
claiming the writing is bad and the movie is lazy. I don't see it. I think this movie is just as good as the first one. I never understood why people seem to crap on O12.
Anyways, with this one we have the Ocean's crew going up against a new adversary. A master solo thief hell bent on proving he's the best and that Ocean's heist in the first film was a lucky fluke. Challenging them to a contest while framing them for another theft and trying to get the better of them.
Will Ocean's crew of 12 pull it off and come out on top?
pfft duh, it's an Ocean's heist movie, of course they will win there's no real spoiler there. But watching HOW that happens. That's the fun. The actors in this have just as much chemistry together as the first movie, and more. The jokes are funny, the antics great, especially the Julia Roberts and Bruce Willis bit, and everybody knows how awesome the Laser scene is. You know the one.
Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places to see hate for this movie and it really is loved by most people? I usually just hear this one is bad and not as good as the first. I must humbly disagree and say this one is just as good as O11.
An underrated gem. No pun intended.

Linus Caldwell: What did I say?
Danny Ocean: You called his niece a whore.
Rusty Ryan: A very cheap one.
Danny Ocean: She's seven.
Trivia: In the last scene, when everyone meets to play poker, Catherine Zeta Jones throws her hands up to celebrate a win and falls out of her chair for real.
Question: I'm really bad at remembering faces - was just wondering if the guy who Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Matt Damon meet, and eat with - and play the weird phrases game, is also Le Marque - so technically, did CZJ met her father unofficially, (before Pitt introduces him) when she was interrogating him?
Answer: Le Marque and Matsui (the weird phrase guy) are played by Albert Finney and Robbie Coltrane, respectively (so no, she never met him before).
