Smokin' Aces

Joe Carnahan's film features a great list of actors, a somewhat entertaining plot, and lots of stereotypical characters. The inspiration definitely seems to be Tarantino. The same idea of multiple stories weaving in and out with lots of blood and sex.

The actors involved are all quite famous. I don't think I've ever seen Alicia Keyes or Common in a film before. They both performed well, and oddly enough end up together on the end of the film. Jeremy Piven did an excellent job portraying a strung-out, drugged-up mafioso.


decent film
