Smokin Aces
After crimes caused by Primo Sparazza lord, the police expect to find a convincing evidence to throw that guy to jail. But all crimes are obliterated. Buddy 'Aces' Israel, who was named the Spirit with all the skillful performances at casinos in Lake Jahoe, Nevada, used to be the closest Sparazza. Recent days, Buddy has became more unsightly. Due to the phone calls, the police know that Sparazza is willing to pay a million dollars for the thug who want to kill Buddy. And the police immediately enter the 'Witness Protection' program of FBI...

A great ensemble cast, along with excellent direction makes this a gem worth the watch...June 25, 2007
Smokin' Aces isn't the most original endeavor, but it has enough wit, action and dramatic weight to carve out its own rightful place of honor in the crime film genre.May 05, 2008
The best Tarantino riff of 1994.January 30, 2007
Violence is spread throughout the film, and some of it is entertaining, I have to admit. But the climax at Buddy's Tahoe penthouse is Tarantino on speed.November 03, 2012
A guilt-free return to the kind of stylish action thrillers that rely on strong characters just as much as they do carnage.January 30, 2007
Did Carnahan think these sickening scenes would give Smokin' Aces a moral complexity that's generally absent from this genre? I think they make the picture seem even more morally bankrupt.February 03, 2007
Not a fresh idea emerges from this risible exercise in muscle-car camerawork, squib-crazy shoot-outs and self-admiring pyrotechnics.July 23, 2007
Could've been a classic belch of grindhouse-throwback foolishness if not for Carnahan's apparent need to take his story seriously after all.January 31, 2007
We just sit there numbly, awaiting the next sensation and trying, without notable success, to comprehend the preposterous backstory.January 26, 2007
Smokin Aces is a Viagra suppository for compulsive action fetishists and a movie that may not only be dumb in itself, but also the cause of dumbness in others.September 22, 2007
It wants to be a Tarantino-esque dark comedy about gun-slinging, substance-abusing lowlifes. But instead it's a convoluted, slap-happy, humorless bloodfest.
