Where is the focus?

I just watched it without reading the introduction. The reason is because there is my love Alicia playing a role. After watching it, I feel that this film is not unconventional in the same type of film, but it is not too tacky. Gunman, gangster film is too easy to fall into the stereotype, but it can make people's blood pressure rise when handled properly, which is very enjoyable.
It seems that this film is based on various killers as the protagonist. The killers have very different personalities and fashionable dresses. Even if they are very vases, they have achieved the effect of preventing the film from being too boring. Let me briefly talk about the reasons why this film cannot become a classic in my own opinion. First of all, as a gang of police and gangsters, there are few intense and tense shots and there is no climax. The scenes of masters facing each other are even zero. People can't see what they want to see with their necks stretched out. Secondly, the characterization is generalized. The glamorous killers are essentially just a foil for the film (which could have been dug out). Several killer characters are completely reduced to vases (such as our Keys, 55555), and some plots are even more impressive. The second monk, such as the revenge scene of the bounty hunter whose limbs were severed, and the inexplicable spark of love between the female killer and the male bodyguard. Finally, I will focus on the main characters of the film: FBI. The portrayal of the FBI is a bit light-hearted, which means that the emotional foundation in the front is not well played, but the emotional card is played in the back, which is a bit abrupt. To be honest, in the end, the handsome male detective did something like that. I think it’s totally unreasonable and totally counterintuitive. I can only say that he was too bloody and emotional. In real life, the FBI wouldn’t be able to do anything like that. .
Although I was so wordy, I still gave four stars, because I think the advantages or shortcomings of this film can be understood by the audience. Although the characterization is a little fancy, but in reverse, I feel that Adding a lot of entertainment elements to some scenes is actually not bad. In short, this film is still recommended for everyone to see, after all, as a commercial entertainment film, it is fully qualified.

    2010.07.18 The filming was a bit chaotic, and the transitions were rather contrived, but some of the little emotions were quite delicate and unique.

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.
