smoker

I started paying attention to it a few weeks ago when I saw someone commenting on "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", "Snatch" and "Smokins' Aces". I like the sense of humor in the first two films, as well as the comedic collision of characters from various factions, which is very enjoyable to watch. But in this "Smokins' Aces", the humor is gone, the impact is gone, and there's only a few bloody shots left.

Those kinky shots also reminded me of "Saw," where the hotel elevator scene was blunt, and more of a conflict of interest than a complete comedic hit. The lens feels pretty nice, but it just doesn't feel right. Compared to "Two Smoking Guns", it's really far behind. No matter who he touches for the first time, no matter how much money he spends to make a movie, if you don't feel it, you just don't feel it.

The policeman Andy Garcia looked familiar no matter how he looked. He looked up and said it was Vicent from "The Godfather III", but it still didn't seem like it. In the trailer of "Thirteen Arhats", I recognized Vicent at a glance, this one in the hands of the smoke master, it doesn't look like it.

    It's a gimmick when Barrett shoots.

    I was looking forward to this kind of movie with people from all walks of life, but in the end, it was not dazzling enough, and it was not quiet enough. I think it would be more funny for the killer played by Alicia Keys to be directly stabbed to death in the elevator. I had already guessed the big boss behind the scenes, but the layers of misunderstandings between the heart transplant operation and the assassination operation were somewhat unexpected. ps. At least see the actors in the three Lost, party ah!?

Smokin' Aces quotes

  • Jack Dupree: How about the Tremor brothers? Three of them; same skank mom, different deadbeat dads. They're used for that suicide-style, kamikaze shit. Heard about that dinner club in Cleveland?

    "Pistol" Pete Deeks: That got squat-fucked, shot-to-shit, slashed, and burned?

    Hollis Elmore: What happened?

    Jack Dupree: Well the Tremor brothers go rip-shit riot on the whole fucking place. Seven dead, twenty-eight wounded. Just to get this one fucking guy. In the course of the melee, one of them gets shot in the neck - he passes out. Another one catches blowback from a jammed piece - he's temporarily blinded. Third one gets a bullet lodged in his back - he can't walk. They're speed-freak, neo-Nazi assholes who read and recite Mein Kampf like it was Mother Goose. They're meaner than shit, they're dumber than hell, and these motherfuckers will go megaton at the drop of a hat.
