This movie should get high marks for its style, but everything about its style that is likable, was ripped off from Guy Ritchie. The plot is sooo out there, that I can only imagine that the writer, director... producers and... Full review

There is a new genre infesting our nation's movie theaters. With apologies to Garrison Kellior, let's call it "guy noir". Films aimed directly at the young, hip male audience. Movies that are an unholy combination of old fashioned film noir... Full review

Here's another addition to anyone's list of definitive "guy flicks". Compared to testosterone treats like Jason Statham's pair of Transporter stints, this one offers a more complicated plot, fewer explosions and chases, but more gruesome killings. Plus some fine touches... Full review

Smokin' Aces was most certainly a bit of a magic show within itself, in that while you watched the evident plot go one way, you didn't notice the actual plot until BAM! it came out of nowhere. It wasn't the... Full review

Smoking Aces is a film that tries hard, and in doing so is one that is not going to be easy to describe. The basic plot revolves around the central character "Aces" who is testifying against the mob, and in... Full review

The technicals are efficiently carried out and the film has a jumpy, edgy feel, which works to its benefit.
The rest of the film is not much easier to understand
although there are snatches of action and character interplay that are interesting

That leaves the door wide open to bring all the cool characters from Smokin' Aces back to shoot an impossible amount of bullets, rockets and playing cards at each other.
Just kidding - the third project is a cop corruption flick based on an Ellroy novel called White Jazz , although I bet Carnahan could write the shit out of Fluffy Bunny's Big Day .

The technicals are efficiently carried out and the film has a jumpy, edgy feel, which works to its benefit.
Ryan Reynolds' FBI Agent Richard Messner is the film's most sympathetic character and Ray Liotta who is good at these intense roles, plays his partner Donald Carruthers.
