That was my biggest problem. With regard to not spoil the movie for others, didn't you think, given what the audience learns at the end, they went to alot of trouble to pour the proverbial salt onto the wound?

Yes. The word I used in my initial response definitely applies in spades here - contrived. Overly so.

I really hope that spoiler was a joke. Otherwise, it's truly the dumbest thing ever.

"Be Cool," the sequel to "Get Shorty" looked really good.

I actually thought the preview for Be Cool looked like it had the same problems that Oceans 12 had -- trying too hard to live up to what made the original so good.

If you are going to the theater, I did see some really good looking previews. "Be Cool," the sequel to "Get Shorty" looked really good.

Is Be Cool from a book too? I don't remember there being a book sequel to Get Shorty? If so, I'd go see it. Otherwise I'll wait for the video.

....ain't that good.

It's kind of funny and has some good one-liners, but the details of the actual heist are pretty lame. It takes a direction near the end that was incredibly stupid: (spoiler in white below)

I agree, I was rather disappointed. It's hard to beat a Bellagio heist though.

I'm not too familiar with the Elmore Leonard catalogue, so I can't say for sure, but I think it is.

I'm affraid it's true.

Even dumber addition to the spoiler:

<font color="white"> Bruce Willis plays himself and bumps into "Julia Roberts" throwing a wrench in everyone's gears. </font>

**SPOILERS BELOW**
















I read somewhere that the main point of the movie was LeMark trying to meet his daughter. If that was the case, then why didn't he just call her up?
