Smokin’ Aces (2006)<\/p><\/div>\n

Here is a comment from IMDB (by slimjack@aol.com<\/span>) that basically cover all my comments for this movie :<\/p>\n

There is a new genre infesting our nation’s movie theaters. ….. Films aimed directly at the young, hip male audience. Movies that are an unholy combination of old fashioned film noir and the modern action movie, as directed by the class clown. They offer fast paced entertainment, great character actors, twisty plot lines, explosions and more spent ordinance than used in a typical week in Baghdad. Even new genres breed clich\u00e9s however and the original freshness heralded by Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction is beginning to smell the slightest bit stale. This brings us to Smokin’ Aces, a movie that isn’t so smug as to be intolerable or so brilliant as to be ground breaking. Rather it is good, competent, workmanlike example of its genre, which is bad news for a movie that wants to be hip and edgy.<\/p>\n

Smokin’ Aces has the requisite twisty plot. Actually it has at least nine plots, all twisty. In fact it has so many plots the movie dissolves into a series of incidences strung together by a smattering of narrative glue. Aces, a card magician and mob nabob, turns federal stoolie and a dying Godfather posts a high dollar contract on him. Naturally every photogenic hit-man with the weekend free descends upon Ace’s casino penthouse to do the job and collect the dough. Smokin’ Aces tries hard and includes everything needed to qualify as guy noir. It even tries to incorporate the “Tarantino Digression”. That is, extended expository flashbacks incorporated for no good reason except that they are fun to watch. Smoking Aces can’t quite pull these off as they require a defter touch than the movie is capable of.<\/p>\n

There aren’t any real people in Smokin’ Aces. All the characters are strictly stereotypes played for effect rather than reality.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Piven<\/span> is cool in this movie! BTW.. the movie poster is really cool, isn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
