Review of Smokin' Aces (2006) by John D — 06 Aug 2015
Spoiler filled review.
The topsy turvey twisting Oceanâ(TM)s Eleven knockoff that is Smokinâ(TM) Aces flipped,kicked, and turned me into liking it more than I thought. I say Oceanâ(TM)s Eleven meaning that it really started out like one in the series. The music, Location, The character/storyline setups, and heck it even had Andy Garcia. But somewhere between a chainsaw and a kid with numbchucks it turned into itâ(TM)s own movie. And that movie was great. The Casting was amazing and probably was my second favorite thing about this movie. Andy Garcia, Ryan Reynolds, Ray Liotta, Alicia Keys, Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman, Peter Berg, Common, Jeremy Piven, Chris Pine, Kevin Durand, Mathew Fox, and if you got âBoogerâ? from Revenge of the Nerds in your movie you definitely canâ(TM)t lose. A well put together piece about a âhitâ? and whoâ(TM)s gonna claim it first. Simple yet complex at the same time.
Comic Book Movie Plus: Ben Affleck - Daredevil, Kevin Durand - X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds - Green Lantern & X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Nudity Bonus: Janet Edwards: Naked Prostitute (19:42/26:52)(T).
