My reaction
Synopsis: professional thieves rob a casino
How I saw it: on video (have on DVD), yesterday
Concept: Indifferent. It was a good concept in the original, but they've removed all of the elements that made it interesting, that might have given this movie anything other than the cast to separate it from a million other Mission Impossible knock-offs.
Story: Bad.
Characters: Terrible.
Dialog: Indifferent.
Pacing: Good.
Cinematography: Indifferent.
Special effects/design: Good.
Acting: Indifferent. Every one of these guys is a great actor. And they have nothing to work with.
Music: Good.
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent). Completely pointless exercise in getting as many famous people in the same movie as possible. It's kind of like North in that way, except this is watchable. There's no reason to watch it, but it's watchable.
Objective Rating: 2.0/4 (Indifferent).
