Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Ocean's Twelve
In Ocean's Eleven, Danny Ocean and his friends stole millions from a casino in Vegas. Danny and his friends are now on the run but living a wealthy life. A competing thief is so jealous of the robbery that he tracks down each of Danny and his friends and turns them in to Benedict (the casino owner). Now Benedict comes looking for Danny and his boys and wants his money back.

Ocean and his friends have two weeks to repay the cash which is mostly spent. To do this they reassemble the team in Europe and begin taking on small robbery jobs. This includes robbing a wealthy collector who lives next to a canal in Amsterdam: the swim in under the security, dig through the basement and rob him from underneath. They also try to steal a priceless jewel only to find that the jealous thief who turned them in has already stolen it. Because they are out in the open now, they are also being tracked by Interpol.
