ok, last night friend and I went out on a limb and saw Smokin Aces;
Basic storyline is, a magician in vegas gets in with the mafia enjoys the high life, but things go sideways and he agrees to give evidence that will bring them down in exchange to go into an FBI protection progam, new identity etc
A contract goes out on his life and there are about 6 killers that step up to do the job, ranging from serious profressional hitman to ragtag headbanging wannabes and the FBI have to get to him b4 the hitmen do.
Plenty of twists and turns,crosses and double crosses, the sick humour, plenty of wise cracks thru out with Good/Bad guys on both side sides
its shot in a very Tarrantino/Richie style, untraditional/weird but is still very good film in its own right, by that i mean its weird but still an excellent film, unlike the Tarrantino films that poeple think are good just because they weird/unique with Tarrantinos name on it.
Ray Liotta is in and is good playing an FBI agent (sorry I aint good with names and the Characters, i just watch the film)
Ben Affleck plays a different role and does well
I would give it 4 out of 5, i would like to think that this film sets a new benchmark with regards to these Gangster/hitman indie-esque films
and it has plently of Alisha Keys in thigh high boots! Schwiing!
