Don't you just love those kinds of movies that are just cool? A bit of comedy, a bit of flashy gunfighting, a lot of assassins, and a hapless piss artsist of a target. Smokin Aces promises to deliver all of the above and then some. An FBI agent (Reynolds) hunts for a Las Vegas stand up comedian (Piven) who has decided to squeal on the mob but, before he heads off for protective custody, decides to go to the casinos at Lake Tahoe for one last good time, drawing a crowd of assassins (including Affleck and Keys)all abying for his blood in order to stop him from snitching. Couldn't be more simple!
The immediate stand out for me with this one is Jeremy Piven. He plays the delerious old school friend to Martin Blanke in Gross Point Blank, and the ludicrously funny Agent Ari in the HBO hit series "Entourage". Can't get enough of this guy, and by the looks of things he's gonna shine in Smokin Aces too!
While folks in the US can get a look at this in January 2007, us poor unfortunates in the UK will have to wait til March. *sigh*
