finally saw 'smokin aces'
 
what a dissapointment. Heard from some friends that it was pretty good, and i remember seeing the trailer on tv thinking 'hey that might be a cool flick'... but i just watched it... and it fucking sucks. Jesus christ i just realized i really wasted my time with this movie, i've only had this feeling with 'walking tall' and 'oceans 12' before. Exceptional.

I've never seen it.

candyflip 08-22-2007 04:56 PM

I loved that flick. Looks and sounds even better in HD.

only some of the action sequences are cool (i think ive enjoyed about a total of ~2 minutes of the whole movie). That doesnt do it for me, when everything else is boring, lame and stupid. for me a movie is about entertainment, and this movie didnt entertain me at all, its a horrible drag to watch.

scottybuzz 08-22-2007 05:17 PM

I think some scenes are great, but the problem for me was at the start when both agents are in the car, you cant understand what on earth they are saying and therfore your lost as you begin.

Red Ezra 08-22-2007 05:26 PM

it has great moments - the sniper scene especially

GAMEFINEST 08-22-2007 05:27 PM

yea that scene is included in the 2 minutes ive enjoyed

StuBradley 08-22-2007 05:29 PM

The hitman (Alex Rocco) who kept morphing into other people made the whole movie. The other characters were just window dressing IMO. I gave it a 6 at IMDb myself. You might wanna check out Alpha Dog....better plot and not so gratuitous with the violence.

ridikuloz 08-22-2007 07:00 PM

fuck the story line, the action was awesome.

allofzen 08-22-2007 07:10 PM

the movie sucked donkey balls

Brujah 08-22-2007 07:18 PM

I really liked it. Did you like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?

Kimo 08-22-2007 07:22 PM

i didnt care for it

Strickie 08-22-2007 07:22 PM

The card tricks were cool, but the movie wasn't great.

gornyhuy 08-22-2007 07:36 PM

OH it wasn't that bad.... I kind of enjoyed it.
The ending was totally contrived, but what the hell.

bronco67 08-22-2007 07:36 PM

Tried to be the Usual Suspects at the end...Joe Carnahan's other flick, Narc is awesome. You should check that one out if you like seeing Ray Liotta chewing on some scenery like its beef jerky.

Smokin Aces had a couple of excellent scenes, but over all the movie sucked. The 50 cal sniper scene was awesome. Goes without saying. The other was Ben Affleck's corpse scene, with the dude lip syncing and moving his lips. His little speech was kind of touching -- and it was Affleck's best performance ever, without even actually saying a word.

smokin aces for some reason is the one movie i can't seem to watch. not because i don't like it, but for some reason i always fall asleep. i'm always pissed when i wake up and it's over because i remember it being good, but maybe not... i don't know.

drx 08-22-2007 07:57 PM

I've seen it and i like it.

RedShoe 08-22-2007 08:08 PM

My friend is in that movie. He's a stuntman. He says (and I never saw the film, but he's on the trailer) he says he was in a shot where all he and his gang had to do was cross the street. He says that he and his gang look bad ass but they get killed even before they cross the street.

mariamistress 08-23-2007 12:31 AM

yeah i agree. oceans 11 is much better

pornvue 08-23-2007 03:24 AM

didnt liked it very much either...although there were some good scenes. I think i fell asleep on the first half of the film

Danny B 08-23-2007 03:37 AM

Smokin aces is a total rip off. But if I liked it anyway.

Anybody seen layer cake by any chance? If you haven't you really should. This movie really delivers.

Directed by the guy who produced Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch tith Guy Richie

Watch DOA. Afterwards, you'll think Smokin Aces is a masterpiece.

DOA :1orglaugh You must have rented it for all the wrong reasons.

hardcoreblogger 08-23-2007 08:15 AM

found it a very mediocre movie

Dagwolf 08-23-2007 08:19 AM

I haven't seen it but you must be pretty young if you only feel that way about three movies...

Vitasoy 08-23-2007 08:27 AM

Another over rated flick to me

Violetta 08-23-2007 08:55 AM

I rented it, but didnt see it!

gecko 08-23-2007 09:19 AM

another over budget flick

riabanana 08-23-2007 10:01 AM

Have no intentions of seeing it.

woj 08-23-2007 10:01 AM

it wasn't that great, but not that bad either, I've seen worse...

alby_persignup 08-23-2007 10:34 AM

hmmm... i'll check it

Aquarius 08-23-2007 10:38 AM

I thought it was OK, I even bought it on DVD.

Brother Bilo 08-23-2007 10:43 AM

The action didn't quite make up for the dialogue and story, but it wasn't THAT bad. But I will be honest, the black girls were getting on my nerves the whole movie. All I could think about was ball gagging the "Manly" one just to shut her the fuck up.

KILL_FRENZY 08-23-2007 03:21 PM

Never seen it:)

You actually watched that? The fact that it got no theatrical US release was enough for me to know I needed to keep away.
