Way overdone
"Smokin' Aces" is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. What makes it even worse is that you see a lot of wasted potential. Deep down, I could see that the core - someone being pursued by multiple hit men - could have worked had it been executed clearer and simpler. As it is, it's way overdone - it's style over content. We have that ugly color scheme of all colors looking very dark, rapid editing, and a LOUD soundtrack.

The characters are also ALL repulsive - there's no one that you root for or give a darn about. The movie takes forever to get going as well. The second half of the movie is a bit more successful, because it has some intense action, but it's too little too late. Aside from that, the only thing I liked about the movie was the scene where they played a snatch of the score from "The Good The Bad And The Ugly."

Quotes

Donald Carruthers: You've got to be careful when doing your stakeouts. I did one for... I was on one for six months. I gained, like, 20, 25 pounds. You keep eating this crap...
Richard Messner: Well, that's not my problem, though. I don't gain weight. I tried.
Donald Carruthers: That's 'cause you're 12 ...

Goofs

When Agent Messner first walks into the Emergency room you see a doctor pass from the hallway in front off to his left. The camera then pans to look at him while he is walking down the same hallway, and the same doctor walks along the same route as before.
