i found that the director ruined 12 for me. i didn't think that the plot sucked or the acting was bad, but that director is one no talent ass clown. nothing flowed properly and there were so many lame ass shots.
that scene where 11 of them came out of the jail, and for EACH person the camera would start zoomed out, then zoom in on their face...... 11 fucking time.... in a row... it was 2 minutes of gay ass shaky camera zooming.
Steven Soderbergh, the director, is on my blacklist. Other shitbox films by this idiot:
The Jacket
Criminal
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Insomnia

If you see that guys name on the movie, head for the hills.
