Take off my nostalgia goggles: was Smokin Aces any good?

Featured heavily in my movie rotation back in college.

Jeremy Piven, Ryan Reynolds, Ray Liotta, Andy Garcia, Ben Affleck and about 90 minutes of pointless, cartoonish violence.

Oh yeah, young Chris Pine too


So, was this a pile of shite or a legit fun watch?

Legit fun watch with a surprisingly great cast. I forgot how stacked that roster was.

I found it entertaining at the time. Haven’t seen it in a while.

Song at the end montage

I love this movie. Very entertaining.. I like Piven in this role .

Also I linked the final song that’s playing as everything is getting revealed . Really good

Why didn't you mention the black cast members like Common, Taraji P. Henson, and Alicia Keys (was fine as hell in that flick)?

You racist!


Kidding.


I enjoyed it. Always thought the scene with Jason Bateman was crazy with his herpes lips and bunny costume.

And the naked lady tattoo on Chris Pine's shoulder that spreads its legs whenever he raises his arm is funny as well.

"Eastern European jizz."

Loved Bateman's character for the couple minutes he was in it.



Also the scene with the kid freaked me out a little.

I remember wanting to like it and being disappointed after watching it. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't near as good as I had hoped going into seeing it.

i watched it once, a long time ago, and this was my sentiment.

it wasn't total trash like boondock saints, but it wasn't good.

I love it but it is seriously a love it or hate it film.

Between the decoy protagonist and some of the twists, it doesn’t sit well with some people.

All the different killers are fun but it ends on such a self serious note that it doesn't have much rewatchability for me.
