Trivia

The story of this film was taken from "Honor Among Thieves", a screenplay treatment written by George Nolfi that was originally intended to be a John Woo vehicle. When it was decided that Ocean's Eleven was going to have a sequel, Warner Bros. asked Nolfi to rewrite the script, adjusting it for the Ocean's Eleven characters.

Goofs

The pillars in Amsterdam are driven into the sand to stabilize the foundations of the houses. There is no water surrounding the pillars at any level. The film suggests that the houses are built like offshore platforms which is simply not the case.

User Reviews

Most fun I have ever had watching a film.

This movie was absolutely unbelievable in every sense of the word. And guess what....the first time i saw it in theaters...i basically left in tears, went home, voted on IMDb and gave it a 1. I thought it was terrible, i didn't understand a thing i had just seen. In this movie there are a lot of things to follow...it isn't like "11" where the movie is handed to you and if you don't understand it you should be hospitalized. This movie takes more then one viewing...i saw it twice in theaters and bought the DVD yesterday and watched it again. This movie is #5 on my top 25 only beaten by Goodfellas and the 3 Die Hards. And even if the movie had been terrible, the music would still make it a decent movie. the cast did a great job and Catherine Zeta-Jones is probably the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in film...something about her just takes my breath away.
