As far as movies like this go, this is probably one of the best.

Only gets half a star because there is no option for 0.

a guy known as Aces is getting hunted by Feds, contract killers since he "plays" with the Mafia .. nice plot n cool characters .. pretty decent action moves also ..

Many good reasons to like this movie, cast, director and sountrack to name some.

Weird little crime caper with some excellent characters that are just wasted. Alicia Keys looks amazing in it too so it s a shame the movie is so lifeless.

Is good when you feel like shoot 'em up twisty movies.

In the same vein as Shoot 'em up & Crank an over the top actioner.

If you're fond of the old 'Is he dead yet' gimmick, there are lots of those.

It's ludicrous, but not as ludicrous as the ending -- an exhausting game of Twister that'll leave you feeling stupid or cheated or both.

There are way too many characters to keep track of, they're too cartoonish to care about, and the plot is madly baroque in a most wearisome way.

But Smokin' Aces is all pumped up with no place to go, and the crashing letdown, as the rush fades and the ammo shells lie spent across the screen, is heavy indeed.

Best consumed with pizza and lots of brewskis, Joe Carnahan's Smokin' Aces is shamelessly and unapologetically a guy movie.
