Critics and audiences wanted more casino hijinks, but it was a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation. Soderbergh turned the franchise into a globetrotting affair, as the 2004 movie takes place in several different European locations, including the Netherlands, France, and Italy, and every shot looks so picturesque. While Ocean's Eleven took place in Las Vegas and focused on the crew robbing three Las Vegas casinos at once, Ocean's Twelve was a whiplash-inducing departure when it came to the setting.
