Inferior to other large cast crime flicks like Snatch -- the plot doesn't mesh as well and the characters are too comic booky. Ben Affeck, however, plays his most sincere role. |

Quite action-packed, but so frantic you won't know what's going on half of the time. Still, there are a lot of interesting characters, though with so many involved no one gets enough screen time. It's fun, but wears you out. |

Smokin' Aces |
|
Smokin' Aces is an OK action movies for it's good acting and cleaver ending, but the script and bad characters keep it from actually succeeding.
The Direction is average, but the script is boring except for in parts. The first half of the film suffers to be as good as the last half.
Ryan Reynolds is maturing as an actor, he is taking on more serious roles and i'm starting to see that he is actually a good actor. He gives a good performance in this movie. Jeremy Piven is terrific in his commanding performance. Alicia Keys and rapper Common are good in their film debuts. But sadly, Ray Liotta, Ben Affleck, Andy Garcia, Peter Berg and Martin Henderson are wasted, having very little to do. Jason Bateman is quite funny, in a small role.
The final action scene is good, the twist and t... |

Violent, over-the-top and in-your-face thriller. |
|
The plot to "Smokin' Aces" is about how a 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 against 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.
Overall, I thought it was very well done. The plot was good, the characters were ... |

Somebody should shoot this film |
|
This hyper, in-your-face action comedy is too confusing and it's never as clever as it thinks it is; for all its shortcomings, it tries to make up in violence and carnage and apart from some decent characterizations (Bateman and Keys) and style to spare, it fails and will only appeal to a crowd with A.D.D. Another demerit: Jeremy Piven is awful! Final Grade: D+
