Smokin' Aces

A very amusing mid-00s action flick. It's a film that has aged considerably, and one that will no doubt continue to do so in the coming years, but Carnahan's bold approach saves it from oblivion. Some well over-the-top characters, a couple of explosive action scenes and flashy visuals lend the film the necessary flair. The plot's a bit silly and the acting all over the place, but the film refuses to take itself too seriously, which was clearly the way to go with this kind of material. Good fun.
