Review of Smokin' Aces (2006) by Grzegorz W — 29 Jun 2010

Wow, this movie is hard to follow but I think I got the basics. I liked the movie for the most part but I can easily see how somebody would hate it. The script moves really fast, and features a lot of action.

So much action that the story does not really give much face time to any one actor. So you really don't connect with any of the characters, which is by design but hurt the story. The acting is good, but like I said the movie is mostly action and cutting to other characters to advance the story in rapid fire fashion, so there is not much acting.

A shame because the actors were doing a nice job. The movie is fun but very, very scatter brained so if you watch it, be ready to be confused. But if you like gangster and/or action movie I see no reason not to give this one a shot.
