Smokin' Aces Joe Carnahan 2007 US[/color] 1st time, 1 sitting[/size] A worthwhile work. While there is tons of guns and action, and it all feels a little bit cheap at the end when Carnahan tries to make it mean something, still good. Obviously not as impressive as it used to be with all the new technology at work these days, but the film just looks amazing, colorful and grand, and Carnahan sets up some great shots here and there. No one from the all-star cast embarrasses themselves, and some actually exceed expectations (Ben Affleck succeeds in not being annoying, Jason Bateman has a great cameo, and Ryan Reynolds holds his own against Ray Liotta and Andy Garcia). Nothing like Narc, but I'm almost glad Carnahan made this film because I'm sure it will open up his options for future projects, and Narc showed great promise.
