Butter up your popcorns!

If Smokin' Aces is of any implication as to what the action genre is going to be like in the future, I'm in! Aces delivered smashingly good action, deep, layered characters, all frostcovered with a layer of humour. Never have I seen action quite the way it was in this film. This movie built up to the last 30 action-filled minutes for about 80 minutes, during which we barely got any action at all. It worked perfectly, because the small glimpses along the way that we received worked brilliantly in building up to something, and we knew that whatever it was going to be was going to be awesome. And it sure was. I will not spoil any of the action, but it is surprisingly gory for a seemingly hollywood-like action flick, and it's also incredibly intense. Carnahan really did some spectacular choice...Read more

The main thing that I thought was wrong with this film is that the plot was divulged way too quickly. I'll be honest, I had to read the back of the DVD cover to get the general synopsis for this film after I'd watched it. The beginning whizzed by way too quickly and people were talking over each other and it was just generally confusing. Not that it let up either. Another thing that irritated me was that it transcended from what was quite a witty, almost comic book feeling film, into (attempted) serious drama. Worse still, it was the least serious person on the planet - Ryan Reynolds - charged with bringing the drama and emotion to the scene. I'm not a fan of his anyway, but I wasn't buying it one bit. An average affair, though it was good to see Ben Affleck getting what seemed like 'Ju...Read more

I didn't really feel anything with this movie. Nothing bad, nothing good. Sure there was plenty of action and plenty of stars but that doesn't mean it's going to be a good movie. Seeing as I feel completely indifferent to this movie it's hard to say if it was bad or not. You just have to watch it to make up your own mind.

Not Really that Great

Ok, so this movie had enought action, but it really didnt have that 'feel' going on. Plot twists and turns, and a little suspense to hold you over. To be honest, I watched it to watch it. I want to see what it was like, and I was too impressed with it. It was good, but I am not running to the store to buy it

Lots of blood

I went to this one expecting and wanting to watch a high octane testosterone movie. I wasn't let down. The body count is high and the blood flows freely in this one. I saw it at the matinee time and that is about what it is worth. If you've seen the trailer for this one, you know what to expect. A group of hitmen are after one target for a big cash prize. They all compete to get there first and will do anything to get there along the way. Don't expect a deep thinking movie with this one. It is an "A" ticket ride with a lot of action. I would've rated this one a little higher except the ending sucked. You go along for the ride and when the action ends they keep the story going. I was sitting there thinking about what they were going to do next, the movie is over. Well pers...Read more
