  • Starring: Jeremy Piven, Ray Liotta, Ryan Reynolds
  • Summary: In a series of interlocking tales of high stakes and low lifes, Mob boss Primo Sparazza has taken out a hefty contract on Buddy "Aces" Israel (Piven) -- a sleazy magician who has agreed to turn states 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 (Reynolds and Liotta) dispatched to Aces' Lake Tahoe hideout. When word of the price on Ace's 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 tub out Aces. (Universal)… Expand

    Best consumed with pizza and lots of brewskis, Joe Carnahan's Smokin' Aces is shamelessly and unapologetically a guy movie. It's lewd, crude and loaded with shootouts and hot lesbo action.

    While the film bristles with cinematic verve, it also is as second-hand as an antique store.

    In the hands of the formerly promising director Joe Carnahan, this stylish, nihilistic, hugely derivative mash-up of Tarantino and Guy Ritchie (before wife Madonna ruined his career) is fun for roughly half an hour.

    This movie will rock your socks off, this movie is nothing but action. [***SPOILER***]The way it ended was insane, all these people die just because of a simple heart transplant, I mean if that isn't crazy enough for you then I don't know what is.… Expand

    I don't know why I'm being so generous with my rating because I couldn't wait for the film to end. Well, that's not exactly true - I did wait for it to end. But that's it, I sat there waiting. Not enjoying.… Expand

    This movie was really trying to be unique, cool and funny. Unfortunately, it did not seem to know how and the requests for comedy and even sympathy from the audience at some points were just awkward to the point of being offensive. Out of this huge cast, there are maybe 3 like-able characters, but their screen time is diluted by dull boring characters/actors and they rarely interact with anybody aside from whom they've been with the entire movie, even though there is a huge potential for some interesting combinations of characters. Anyway...this movie's crap, don't see it.… Expand
