A little let down by Ocean's Twelve? You're not alone. "We got away from the reality and that disappointed me," Mac says. "But this one is what Ocean's Twelve should have been." The original eleven return to Vegas, and their former enemy Terry Benedict (Garcia), having butted heads with badass mogul Willie Banks (Pacino), comes to them for help. The crew must engineer a nine-minute period during which every gambler will win at Banks's casino, and the plan hinges on Damon's Linus getting lucky with an old flame (Barkin) who happens to be Banks's right-hand lady. While Thirteen explains the demise of Danny's relationship with wife Tess, the leader of the pack still managed to get his hands on some booty. "George kept grabbing my ass [on the set]," Mac says. "There are two things that you don't do to a black man: one, talk about his mama; two, grab his ass. Please tell George that."
