Seen Last Night: Smokin' Aces
Last night I finally watched Smokin' Aces. Usually I'm one for odd or disjointed story lines, but this one was a little more off than I would like. I enjoyed the film and will probably watch it on our home theater instead of in our bedroom next time. The action scenes deserve full sound effects (like the 50 cal. going off) and it is one of those full-effect, full-experience films instead of being more philosophically driven. In many areas it felt like the actors were simply trying too hard; and this is what left me with the feeling that the plot was too disjointed. On the other hand, because of the caliber of some of the actors, I kept watching and enjoyed the show. After a second look, in the right settings, we'll see how it fares.
