Smokin' Aces: D

Twisted so called Action thriller and Gangster film directed by Joe Carnahan (Narc & Killing Pueblo) and starring Common, Alicia Keys, Ben Affleck, Jeremy Piven, Ray Liotta, Andy Garcia, and Ryan Reynolds.

If you are a fan of the Gangster film genre like I am, you will absolutely hate this movie. Cluttered with half a dozen story line's (non of which interesting or believing in the lest) hit men/hit women are driven to Lake Tahoe by the enticement of a $1,000,000 bounty placed on the head of a popular Vegas magician, turned mob under-boss, turned FBI snitch. One storyline after another collides together only to create one of the most violent, gruesome, and disgusting gun battles I have witnessed since the sadisticness of "Natural Born Killers". Not one of these actors including my favorite actor Ray Liotta are believable, relatable, or even interesting (excluding rapper "Common", who created just enough mystery due to his lack of lines). when the movie finished and everybody was dead, I was wishing I had died at the start of this movie and saved myself the pain of being tortured through this krap.

Rated "R" for Extreme Violence and Language
