There was a fair amount of comedy, thrill, and action. Each element was delivered at the right moment. The premise of the movie is not too complex. The movie provides enough background information in order for you to enjoy the movie. You have to buy in to the contrivance that multiple people are going to try to kill one man on the top floor of a casino. If you get pass that, you will have a really good time. Character performances were great. It has an amazing cast. Wonderful performances are given to Ryan Reynolds in a serious role and Jeremey Piven.
OVERALL…The story was good. This movie also had appealing eye-candy. You will get excited about this movie.
This movie was excellent. I thought that it was great camera work and the plot of the story was original as well as captivating. Go see this movie. I went to the screening and I’m glad that i waited the 45min outside in the 25 degree weather and then another hour inside the movie theater with a bunch of loud people next to me. Trust me…its worth your money and your time. One word of advice though. This movie is not for people with attention problems. You miss one second of this movie or even a word you might miss the whole object of the movie so just be careful. Jeremy Piven (Buddy ‘Aces’ Israel) was dramatic as well as freaking hilarious. Ryan Reynolds (Agent Richard Messner) was also a strong dual character. His comedic presence as well as his strong dramatic performance was enough to make this movie a hit in theaters. The rest of the cast are well known actors who each play there own essential role in the movie and make it that much better. I hope you like the movie and my review. This is my first “official” review on paper but its not my first time writing reviews or watching movies. The movie comes out in theaters on January 26, 2007 so keep an eye out and enjoy.
Smokin’ Aces was most certainly a bit of a magic show within itself, in that while you watched the evident plot go one way, you didn’t notice the actual plot until BAM! it came out of nowhere. It wasn’t the most coherent of plots sometimes, but for the most part it all wraps up in the end.
As far as greatness goes, this won’t be up there winning awards. Rather, it might be remembered fondly as “that cool movie I saw a while ago.” Good drama, good action. Ryan Reynolds breaks out in a truly serious and compelling role.
