    Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #20 "Smokin' Aces" (Joe Carnahan/2006) What a fucking fun action movie with a great, stacked cast. Carnahan delivers the goods with this one. If you have some time, check it out!

    *Smokin' Aces* was so bad that I can't believe I sat through the whole thing. It looked like it would be a fun heist/fiasco movie, but it was incredibly dull without any likeable characters.

    This is such a great paragraph. The ability to know something isn't "great", but still be able to get great pleasure from it and appreciate it just for that. A movie like that for me is Smokin' Aces. There is so much in that movie that doesn't make a lick of sense, and yet I just enjoy it.

    My favorite movie with Ben Affleck is Smokin' Aces, when his character dies halfway through the movie. My second favorite movie with Ben Affleck is Dazed and Confused, when he gets paint dropped on him, and he twists his ankle walking to the car.

    Smokin' Aces is kind of a mess of a movie, but it's a beautiful mess and a big swing. Narc is a stone cold masterpiece. Ticker, Carnahan's contribution to BMW's Driver series is awesome. And I adore his A Team movie. I'll check in on any Joe Carnahan joint.

    Theory! Smokin' Aces (2006 Dir Joe Carnahan) is actually a film about the failures of Libertarianism. By showing a situation where all the hitmen get in each other's ways instead of forming a collective action group, we see that the rugged individual is doomed to failure.

    My action-film mom on Smokin' Aces: "Why did they [the filmmakers] do that to Chris Pine?" Particularly the scene where Darwin Tremor (Chris Pine) kills Jack Dupree (Ben Affleck). Definitely Joe's most twisted movie. (Unless you include Boss Level, which I liked well enough.)

    It's hardly a deep film (which is why SMOKIN' ACES remains the best film in this sub-genre...it has a weird amount of depth to go along with the Grand Guignol violence), but it IS full of character, with Brian Tyree Henry and Aaron-Taylor Johnson being the stand outs for me.
