Amazon.co.uk Review
A frantic and frequently amusing cocktail of Tarantino cool and Hong Kong bullet ballet, Joe (iNarc/i) Carnahan's iSmokin' Aces/i delivers some inspired moments of action and dark comedy in its dizzying-comic book plot about a rogue's gallery of killers on the hunt for a mob informer. At the core of Carnahan's bloody shaggy-dog tale is Buddy Israel (Jeremy Piven, offering a more desperate take on his standard hustler persona), a Vegas magician who's turned informant against the mobsters who have treated him as their personal entertainment. Wishing to close Buddy's overactive mouth permanently, the mob capo puts a bounty on the two-bit showman's head, and a horde of hitmen descends on Buddy's digs to claim the prize.p The unholy crew of gunmen offer the movie's most inspired (and outlandish) moments, with RB singer Alicia Keys (as a cool, iFoxy Brown/i-esque assassin), Nestor Carbonell (as a torture-minded sadist), Ben Affleck and Peter Berg (low-key bail bondsmen) and Chris Pine (the leader of a trio of semi-savage brothers) among the more memorable villains. Ryan Reynolds, Ray Liotta, and Andy Garcia represent the other side of the coin as FBI agents determined to get to Buddy before the legion of doom, and the clashes between both factions produce some eye-popping gunplay. If there's any complaint to be made about iSmokin' Aces/i, it's that the tone shifts between action-drama and hipster comedy feel forced (Carnahan struck a firmer balance between the two in his 1998 indie effort, iBlood, Guts, Bullets and Octane/i), but the performances and shootout set pieces, as well as Carnahan's hyperactive camera work, do much to make those transitions palatable. Eagle-eyed audience members will note the presence veteran scene stealers Curtis Armstrong (iRay/i), David Proval (iThe Sopranos/i), and Alex Rocco (iThe Godfather/i's Moe Green) in supporting roles. i -- Paul Gaita/i

 Good fun Action Flick November 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Its just a good fun movie. Easy to watch. Very funny.br /br /Ok, this is not "Casino Royale" or "Goodfellas". But it's the kind of fun you get from a movie like "Crank". Strong cliched characters (yes, I think that's a good thing), great shooting scenes and a solid pace to the all plot. br /I'm even going to say an heresy: it reminds me Tarantino! It clearly doesn't deserve the 3 stars rating that's getting now here on amazon. Its better than that. Of course, if your looking for a Visconti here you'll be terribly disappointed. I liked it and there's a chance many of you will like too. So don't be put off by the low rating reviews and give it a go. Enjoy!

If you where I expecting a deep mobster story (like Road to pedition) then you will be disapointed, but if all you wanted was film to get your adrenaline pumping and some crazyely well directed gun fights then this is a film for you. br /Although it is a bit slow to start up and the gun fights do end rather abrupdly it still keeps the story (in so far as there is one) going at a good pace and with an ending that you could probaly guess if you still have your clever hat on (but i thought i told you to take it off).br /br /So the best way to summeris this film is that it is a big dumb action movie and proud of it. Dont try and analyse the story. dont try to think to hard about the story, just sit back and enjoy.

I cant really talk. I bought this film the day it was released and i wasted 15.00. I put the dvd on and after 5 minutes of watching i switched it off!!! I have made several attempts to watch it but the beginning is just so boring... I dont actually no what happens, but its nothing like oceans eleven or tweleve. So save your money.

Even with the many familiar faces in this film it is a major let down. br /The first hour is basically a build up for all the events that take place in a Hotel near the end. You get a very brief introduction to the very many (too many) characters who are all hoping to kill one man - and coincidently everyone chooses the same day. Even during the introductions though the camera keeps swaping from group to group so it's difficult to keep track of their plans or get to know any of the characters.br /However by the time the plans start to take action you can see the ideas behind them, so the first hour of this film was basically a waste of time.br /As the camera switched from group to group so quickly for the first hour, by the time the guns start shooting and characters start to die you really couldn't care less about any of them.br /At this point it all becomes a bit of a mess. The plot? people run in to each other and shoot whoever they come across - even though they all want the same thing - one guy dead!! Surely they would team up rather than shoot at each other?br /Matthew Fox is in this very briefly and his death scene is ridiculous (this won't ruin the plot in this as he is only an extra in it anyway). None of the characters in this film are believable other than maybe 2 police guys.br /A scene with Alicia Keys near the end shows that romance is not this directors strong point, I was in stitches as it was all so unbelievable and almost a comedy.br /There is no emotion in this film at all, a very mediocre plot and also no likeable/believable characters. I think this is a very bad attempt at a serious version of 'Snatch' but without the wit, great plot and characters!!!br /I beseech you not to waste your money on this! You can probably watch it on tv by now anyway if ABSOLUTELY necessary.
