Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAll the conversations by Agent Carruthers (Ray Liotta) and Agent Messner (Ryan Reynolds) in the surveillance van scene were improvised.
- GoofsFBI agents wouldn't randomly open fire in the general direction of the 50 caliber gunfire due to risk of public safety; There would be no telling where their bullets would hit. Even if they knew where to shoot, which they didn't, at that range a Glock (or any handgun) is totally inaccurate, not to mention it probably wouldn't have enough stopping power left to do anything.

Featured review
It goes through almost all the emotions.
I'm sick and tired of these people who watch a movie at some lame "premiere" and then criticize said movie because it was too complex. Wake up! Some movies are simple and beautiful. Others are complex but also great. You can't just trash a movie for seeing it once and not understanding it's meaning. You have to work it. Watch it a few times to get the whole story before you make a stupid review. How many years did it take humanity to recognize Van Gogh and some other painters and writers? Some times it took decades. So remember kids cinema is art not an excuse to eat popcorn.
Now the Smoking Aces: It goes through almost all the emotions. It's funny, it's sad, it's annoying, it's cool, it's hip and it shoots up the place. Good story, cool characters and a few great actors. It delivers thrills with a reasonably good filming and it's a definite watch. Not a masterpiece but a pretty good flick.
