Smokin' Aces (DVD, 2007, Widescreen)

Set in Lake Tahoe with Vegas mobsters (how can you not love this movie already?), this movie is definately not for people looking for a nice, calm movie to watch before going to church on a Sunday morning. This ain't no chick flick. While it would have been nice to have a car chase or two thrown into the mix, there are enough bullets flying in this one to even make Quentin Tarantino wonder why he has held back in his movies.

You'll see some old pros (such as Andy Garcia and Ray Liotta) and yep, that really is Alicia Keys playing a great part.

This movie is a freaking blast. Get it. Enjoy it. This isn't one to take home to Mama...unless Mama is packing an Uzi.

I decided to buy. Because I tired of paying a lot for good movies like this. I have folks around that dont give movies back after borrowing. The movie was in good condition as stated. fast delivery thank you

One Of The Greatest Action Movies To Date... This Movie Will Blow You Away... Alica Keys Gives a Hot Than Hot Performance... Two Thumbs Up...

“F.B.I.! F.B.I.!” Blam blam blam blam. “[Expletive]. [Expletive].” Blam blam blam. Spurt of blood. Plot twist. “F.B.I.! F.B.I.!” “[Expletive].” Blam blam blam blam blam. “[Expletive].” “F.B.I.!” “Hotel Security!” Blam. Exploding skull. Guy sits on a chain saw. Montage. [Expletive]. Plot twist. Roll credits. Yes, I condensed a bit, and I’m sorry if I spoiled anything, but the above is a fair summary of Joe Carnahan’s “Smokin’ Aces,” a Viagra suppository for compulsive action fetishists and a movie that strikes the chord of action. If you want guns ablazing, Give this one a try.

I gave this movie a try on Netflix. It's a better movie than what critics made it out to be. Obviously, it's not a movie for acting; it's an action flick. Yet, it's not as stereotypical and "silly" as many other action movies. It has an unusual backstory for an action flick. Jeremy Piven acts better than what would be expected from this type of movie, which critics dismissed as shallow and just a commercialized action movie. Although, I thought it was alright and I did think it could have been a little more interesting if there was more story on how Israel got connected to the mob and his friendship with Ivy, Beanie and Hugo.

Top-notch over the top action with snappy dialog. If you liked Pulp Fiction give this a try. Full speed ahead.

And that is meant as a compliment! This does a better job then any movie I’ve ever seen in the way of creating the most possible interesting characters with the same goal and leaving you only to guess and watch the story unfold as to which of the many potential heroes will get the job done. Creative, visceral, entertaining as anything I’ve ever watched (even kids with A.D.D. would be riveted) this is definitely in the top 10 Action/suspense movies of all time and quite possibly #1. Don't rent it looking for an arthouse, deeper meaning kind of 'film,' this is a movie, and entertaining movie making at its best.

I liked the cinematogrophy and the sound design, very slick. Story was OK. It had a great LOOK to it and was shot in a great local.

Many people will tell you about how bad this movie is. Were they watching the same movie as I was? This movie is full of many plot twist and character twists. It has a lot of excitement that never leaves you bored at anytime. I absolutly love this movie. And being a Ryan Renolds fan he did a fantastic job in this movie. Great start middle and ending to this movie. If you were thinking of watching this movie, don't think no more go watch it NOW!!

Smokin Aces is a fast paces raucous ride through the interactions of numerous hitmen as they make their way to beautiful Las Vegas to kill Buddy 'Aces' Israel. Their worlds collide in a blaze of gunfire and insanity as the assasins all converge on the target at roughly the same time getting caught in each other's wake. The cast is great including Ryan Reynolds who finally gets some decent screen time in a serious role even though he had to grow a beard to try to get people to take him seriously after Van Wilder. Jeremy Piven does a superb job as Buddy 'Aces' Israel aka The Target. Few people have strung out down to an art form like Pivens. Other highlights include Ben Affleck getting shot and Jason Bateman cross-dressing.

Is there a downside? Yes. The Director/Writer has very limited experience and it shows. I'm not quite sure how he pulled this cast together but I'm guessing he knew somebody at the studio who called in some favors. The movie jumps around alot, there's not much character depth, and the spin ending is spun too far in a pre-big-screen tarantino-esque fashion.

The movie centers around the exploits of several assassins all trying to take out a strung out mob informant (jeremy piven) for a million dollar bounty. The FBI of course is trying to stop this from happening and uses its best two agents o try and get to him first(Ryan Reynolds and Ray Liotta). Now this film may look like a wild shootout action film which it is in certain parts, but instead of going ahead with all out adrenaline rushing action the director decided to throw in dozens of shallow plot twists that will make your head spin and often times when a crazy action scene is about to begin the shot will cut to a character you really wont care about then cut back just in time to see the final shot fired. Overall this movie could have been so much better with its elite cast and extremely intriguing characters, but because the filmmaker decided to go for drama and plot twists the film becomes an good action-drama instead of one of the best action films in years.

There is enough blood, killing, guns, and messed up characters to keep anyone glued to the action. If you are a fan of Quentin Tarantino or Guy Ritchie you will love this movie.

Smoking Aces is action-packed. Smoking Aces is the 1st movie since American Beauty & Pulp Fiction to have numerous twists and substories and magnificently tie in at the end.

the seller was super fast and it was in good condition. the item was accurately portrayed and was incredibly professional

a while back i was watching my tv and happened to catch most of the movie Smokin aces however someone decieded to ram the power transformer in my neighbor hood so i never got to watch the movie. thanks to you i finally got to watch it thanks and the dvd was great.

Wow a good action movie!s...........................................................................

great movie love it price is amazing will do business again A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ thank you

I bought the Smokin' Aces dvd on ebay for less that ten dollars. I was very impressed with the product, especially testing it out and seeing how crystal clear it appeared on tv and the bonus features that came long with it. I would recommend getting this dvd.

This is one of the best flicks you will see if you like a lot of twists in a plot!!! This one keeps you hopping from the start.. You have to watch this one several times to catch everything.. Highly recommend this for the person that likes surprise endings!!!!

Never Received My DVD. I placed my order about a month ago now, but never received a tracking number, a follow up to my e-mail to the seller, and still dont have my dvd. I filed a review/ customer inquiry/complaint and am waiting the results. Very Dissapointed.

I would have rated it excellent but, to be excellent it must be able to be liked buy all types of people. If you like Tarintino, G Richie then you'll find this movie in your top 3-4 movies.

The deal was good and I received what I paid for. Happy with the content. Good viewing and entertainment to my taste. The items were Region 1 (American) but being in Australia I have a multi-region DVD player so I saved heaps over what I'd pay in this country. I've bought a 1,000 dvd's off eBay and I've never missed out on a delivery.

I love this movie! me and my girlfriend rented and after i watched this movie it was a must own, so i bought it on e-bay This movie is amazing it's very good, i got all my friends to watch it and they liked it as well.
