Smokin' Aces

Alicia Keys, Andy Garcia, Ray Liotta, Ben Affleck, Brian Bloom

In these interlocking tales of high stakes and low lifes, Mob boss Primo Sparazza has taken out a hefty contract on Buddy "Aces" Israel--a sleazy magician who has agreed to turn state's evidence again...( read more  read more... )st the Vegas mob. The FBI, sensing a chance to use this small-time con to bring down big-target Sparazza, places Aces into protective custody-under the supervision of two agents dispatched to Aces' Lake Tahoe hideout. When word of the price on Aces' head spreads into the community of ex-cons and cons-to-be, it entices bounty hunters, thugs-for-hire, smokin' hot vixens and double-crossing mobsters to join in the hunt. With all eyes on Tahoe, this rogues' gallery collides in a comic race to hit the jackpot and rub out Aces.

    Many words come to minds when it comes to this movie: sick twisted, violent, and very funny.

    Smokin' Aces is not such a bad film. Its got violence, double crossing, and the mob. Only just the fact that I've seen it all before and the end cascaded like any other thriller with a twist that you didnt expect. Now had the things I expected happened it may have been better. If...( read more) you like this watch Domino another film, nearly exactly the same, different actors.

    It's one wildly entertaining and original thriller. Its an intense, hard-core, explosive, gritty, brutally shocking and a red-hot pshycho rollar-coaster ride. Smart, stylish, original, frequently funny and totally over the top. Filled with explosive action and mind-blowing suspen...( read more)se that will knock you out. An energetic bloodbath that just keeps getting better. A fantastic cast of first-rate talents. Jeremy Piven is electrifying. Ryan Reynolds is a pure knockout. Andy Garcia is teriffic. The cast is outstanding. Riveting and exhilerating. A pure guilty pleasure. An awsome adreniline-rush. It has surprising human effection. Director, Joe Carnahan has taken his style in directing to create a high-octane, barrels blazing classic with a rythem all of it's own. It thrives on chaos like Tony Scott's Domino or Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers.

    This film has genuine moments of greatness in it. Unfortunately It also has moments of crap in it. Half the cast are fantastic, the other half are not. Carnahan just gets away with a pretty good film!

    This battle of FBI, bounty hunters and professional killers for the life of an important witness is as wild and entertaining as it sounds and the trailer promises. The colliding characters are colorful, fun and interesting and the body count doesn't necessarily take the order one...( read more) would expect, considering some of the big names entering this contest. Fans of "Lost" should watch out for a very interesting pairing, for example. The fact that this movie doesn't care who is expected to make it out alive may be too much to stomach for some viewers but is actually part of the charm. It's everything but predictable and the action, while being comic-esque and over the top at times, kicks in pretty well. Although the movie doesn't take itself too seriously (but could have spared us the karate kid) the tone gets rather serious in the end and even gives us a nice little "Usual suspects" twist. Cool!

    The ending was one in which it was a ending that was good. This is a non-simple, ultimate brain buster-of a rubik's cube-Guy Film.

    It has some good performances and it is stylish but I doubt you'll really care whether or not anyone in the movie dies.
  • December 21, 2009
    Sweet film, though I couldn't stand the fact that the black woman and the black man did not die. I was pissed off at that for some doggone reason.
