Reviews:

Gimly (7/10)

I don't think I can tell you that Smokin' Aces is good. But I have seen the movie on three seperate occasions in the past thirteen years, roughly evenly spread apart. And each time I have not only enjoyed it, I enjoyed it more than the last time. This movie is very dumb. But fast and fun and oh boy what a cast.

Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time.

Sometimes wild, sometimes confusing action-thriller that boasts a great cast, but in the end, this wasn't a Carnahan movie that really did it for me. 2.75/5
