Smokin' Aces, is a film that made half of my brain say "That's nuts!", and the other half say "What the hell am I watching?". Its a great film by all means, I just thought there were too many characters and plots, and things happening at the same time. So its pretty hard to follow. The plot of this film is about Buddy "Aces" Israel, who is going to spill the beans on a mafia don. Well, a $1,000,000 bounty on him, and now its a race between the assassins to get him first. I thought that the plot was really intelligent, and makes you think a little bit. The cast is phenomenal, with Ben Affleck, Alicia Keys, and Ryan Reynolds. The big problem with this film is that, frankly, theres so much stuff happening, switching scenes(Assassin to Assassin), flash backs, and trying to figure out if the persons dead or not, can be a little too much to handle in the short time that is a film. But a good film. 4/5 stars.
