I'm just rolling out the bad review today. I watched Smokin Aces two days ago, and I just didn't see the point of it. I know they were trying to create a slick heist/caper film, but it just was a flash of bling and posse.
When I first saw the trailer for this film I really thought it had potential. It had a decent cast, the premise looked interesting, and the cinematography seemed tight. Granted while watching it I was chatting on msn, but still I didn't miss anything by looking away.
I think the main thing that makes this a poor film is that they spend a confusing amount of time on the sub-plots. Because there are so many people looking to kill Buddy Israel, they spend time with each of the hitmen. Maybe in theory this sounded like a good idea, see how there are so many different people looking out to score from the murder, but at the same time, it's just confusing because it keeps jumping back and forth between the stories, but never having the characters crosspaths, which would be an interesting plot development.
