There must be some scientific way to prove to her that no movie called "Smokin' Aces" can ever be good. It might involve charts and graphs.

Needs more Dennis Farina though...

I was actually expecting something of a caper movie, but it completely isn't, it's just wind them up and let them go.

the successful execution of this premise would be due to the successful execution of jeremy piven.

spoilers!!!!!

what i wanted (and for a split second thought was going to happen) was after that big massacre when they go into the penthouse and israel is laying there on the floor, unconscious, i thought that israel was actually dead. it would have been the bleakest neo-noir to date! basically everyone dies over a misunderstanding... including the mob boss. if that happened, i would have given it four stars.

alas, that doesnt happen, but the ending wasnt too terrible i guess.

dig the proto-photoshop alpha channel stylings

milo, confusing Wayne Newton with Tom Jones means you must go to yr room.

Yep, my brother dug it. I actually liked it more than I expected, but he said it was just what he was looking for, a popcorn matinee to see on his day off.

Carnahan Surprised at 'Smokin' Aces' Sequel Request

Filmmaker Joe Carnahan is amazed his box-office flop Smokin' Aces became so successful as a rental DVD movie bosses now want to shoot a prequel. Crime drama Smokin' Aces slipped in and out of cinemas almost unnoticed upon its release last year - despite a cast including Ben Affleck and Andy Garcia - but became a hugely popular rental. However, although he will be involved with the film, Carnahan won't be directing the follow-up. He writes on his website: "Universal wants to move ahead with a direct-to-video prequel of Smokin' and asked me if I wanted to Godfather the thing and make sure we did a really cool story. "The DVD numbers Smokin' Aces has done are astounding and they want to strike while the iron is hot. Whatever reluctance I have is alleviated by the fact that we can really do this balls out, hardcore prequel and not be constrained by ratings or any other puritanical MPAA bulls**t. That I love. "I won't be directing. I will probably help break story - something lean and mean and nasty."

This movie has pretty much nothing to do with the 90's. If it's supposed to take place during that time, that information was not effectively communicated throughout the movie. I wanted it to end the entire time I was watching. Quite painful.

i just saw this

I saw this at the Brew 'n' View. Better than Domino, that's for sure.

couldn't get past the first 20 minutes

Saw Joe Carnahan’s newest, Copshop, which bears similarities to Smokin’ Aces (lots of standoffs and action), but it was also a ton better.
