Review

This is one of my favourite films, and it certainly stands up to the high potential imposed by the first film. There was only one thing that irritated me in this movie, and that was when Roberts played herself in an oddly inconceivable trick to mislead a museum, only to get found out by Bruce Willis. While the whole nature of the film is far fetched, I felt that this scene pushed the bar a bit too far. The absurd silliness is somehow made a witty tongue in cheek and undeniably exemplary film, possibly due to Soderbergh's visual flash, astute editing, and brilliant use of the Amsterdam, Paris, and Rome, among other highly decorative locations. In reality the whole film should really just cave in under its own ludicrousness, but it stands tall, with its first rate cast and dynamic chemistry this is a charismatic comedy heist movie that should be watched over and over again.
