Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A team of degenerate, psychotic assassins dispatched by mystery man Hal Leuco to win a huge bounty includes a resourceful beauty who has a unique method of killing her prey, a power-tool wielding psychopath and a deadly master of disguise. Smokin Aces wasn't a masterpiece and there were some ridiculous moments to it no doubt about that but it's definitely better than the awful sequel that it got. This movie has some of the worst green screen uses i have ever seen in my life, the characters feel like they were written by a 12-year old who loves fake cgi blood and naked women. Plus the first movie had better characters, cast and actors that could act in general like Ben Affleck, Chris Pine and Ryan Reynolds this one has none of that. (0/10)
Destroyer Wod I picked the first movie only because it had Ryan Reynolds in the lead. If the movie had a lot of shooting action, lots of characters and a bigger budget, the story was a mess and i really didn't like it.I picked this one, now who knows why, i guess because i kinda like Vinnie Jones, even if he is mostly hit or miss, as in sometimes he steal the show, other times he just has a small part and don't do much.I would say the movie is a lot better in term of story. It does not waste time too much on a million side characters and the main story is fluid and all. The action lack a bit tough in that one, surprisingly.The new characters are cool but i felt some of them where wasted past there introduction. I would had like to see a lot more of them.In any case a decent DTV release, nothing impressive tough, if you don't watch much movies i suggest you really pass this one, but if you are like me watching 10+ movies a week, and you can get it at a pawnshop.. then why not?I give it a 6 on 10 on my personal review chart, as it gave me a decent time, but did not impress me in any mean, so just a bit above the "par". But by IMDb standard and the weird rating of the peoples here, i would say a 4...
elekmadill Words fail to express how truly, truly terrible this fail is. As a fan of the original, i was stoked to here that this was coming out, yet no no, at the end of this pitiful trash i was absolutely Dumbfounded. Had i seriously just seen that? i wanted my money back, better yet i wanted the hours of my life back that this god-awful movie had wasted. I just Cannot comprehend why this movie was made, i mean, it didn't even really make sense! Its as if the people who made this movie after i was done watching saying "Boom! That. Just. Happened. were we really trying? Hellllllll no, but hey! we already got your money! what the hell are You gonna do about it?" seriously people, avoid this movie at All Costs, i mean it.
ajs-10 Having had this recommended to me by a friend, and having seen the first one, I was quite hopeful when I put the disc into the DVD player. Unfortunately, 84 minutes later I was looking for my friends' number to tell him never to recommend a film to me again! I think you can guess I was not impressed with what I saw.Walter Weed an ageing government analyst has had a hit put out on him. Several assassins have been invited to try and kill him on a specific date and at a very specific time. The FBI reacts quickly and moves him into a secure location in a bunker under a Jazz club in Chicago. The assassins, however, seem to have been appraised of his location and move in for the kill. It's every man, and woman, for himself and so there is no team play as they move in for the kill. With time running out, will any of them make it to the prize and collect the three million dollars on offer? I'll leave my short summary here.Apart from Tom Berenger as Walter Weed, none of the rest of the cast put in a decent performance. Maybe not entirely their fault because the script didn't really give them much to play with. The plot, as an idea, was quite clever, but if it had been made as a spy thriller instead of a stupid gun-fest I suspect it would have worked a lot better. I feel sorry that Tom Berenger has had to stoop so low, he deserves better material than this. Over all, really not recommended.My score: 5.1/10
