There's a lot to like, and I actually like it better than 13 which was pretty weak to me.

But in 12, they adapted a script from another story which is why it felt so loose coming off the first one. There were people (Bernie Mac) in the crew with literally NOTHING to do.

And they really didn't even pull of a heist so much as they did a theft. And then at the end, when you see the plot twist,it basically nullifies the whole premise of the movie to begin with.

What is cool about it is the style, the atmosphere, the dialog and watching some of hollywood's coolest interact. Plus, even though it's jive cheesy in a sense, the breakdance through the lasers was baddass.

But most heist flicks of any stripe have this cohesion that 12 kinda lacks. But for me it's still very enjoyable. Not as good as 11, but better than 13 to me which was only 'meh' to me.
