About
You’ll likely enjoy Smokin' Aces if you want a fast, crowded crime mayhem with lots of dark humor and an all-star ensemble; Not for you if confusing storytelling and extreme violence turn you off, and it may feel closer to The Way of the Gun or Lucky Number Slevin than lighter action.
Pros: fast, wild action; huge ensemble cast; darkly humorous tone | Cons: confusing plot; overly intense violence; messy pacing
