Regardless, the film played with the dynamics of the crew, especially Matt Damon's Linus who came into his own as a major player. However, Ocean's Twelve put the players on the back foot, trapping them in a corner and seemingly failing at every step until a fairly unbelievable twist. Ocean's Eleven found the team planning an elaborate heist that always saw the skilled group one step ahead of its opposition. Where Ocean's Eleven stuck to the tried-and-true formula of the heist genre, the sequel experimented with the template, going slightly meta, and chose to develop many of the characters instead of just using them for the archetypes they are. George Clooney plays Danny, defying the odds in a split-second heist of three Vegas Casinos - all owned by a magnate (Andy Garcia) who is dating Dannys ex-wife. Instead, audiences received Ocean's Twelve, a movie that found itself derided by both critics and audiences for its convoluted plot and slow pace. Audiences expected another slick heist with a taut narrative that bounced from one eccentric character to the next. Due to the wild success of Ocean's Eleven, hype was at an all-time high for its sequel. Oceans Thirteen (stylized as Oceans 13) is a 2007 American heist comedy film directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Brian Koppelman and David Levien.It is the final installment in the Oceans film trilogy and the sequel to Oceans Twelve (2004).
