I haven't seen a new "cool" movie like this a while. It was so much fun! About 20 minutes in, I got so mad at movie critics. I've only read and heard bad things about this movie, and saw that it granted only 2 stars in other forums. Man, what do these people want? This movie's got it all. Name it!
Yes. That's in there too.
A mafia boss orders a hit on a Vegas entertainer Buddy "Aces" Israel (Jeremy Piven). As the word hits the street the best of the best hit men and crews race to kill Israel to cash in the one million dollar pay off.
Situations get intense as these hit men dodge the FBI and each other.
At times it felt very reminiscent of True Romance. So many circumstances around one score.
So many names in this movie! It was really great to see Ben Affleck back to work as a character. I want to see him do more of this stuff instead of action movies and romantic comedies. Alicia Keys surprisingly has a major role as an assassin, and does a great job too! Andy Garcia plays the same character in every movie. A powerful man in a three piece suit who seems to know something you don't. But he's so good at it. Something I did not expect was an impressive performance by Ryan Reynolds who really held his own against Ray Liotta. The boy can do drama!
Some more names: Jason Bateman, Common, Wayne Newton, "Booger" (He will always be Booger.), and a disguised appearance by Lost's Matthew Fox, plus you may find yourself thinking "Hey, isn't that that one guy?" throughout this movie.
Now don't be fooled by the quick shots, and stylized film making. This movie has some moving scenes, and great performances! Piven's performance made me ache for Israel. He must have been emotionally drained after shooting some of those scenes. I don't think Piven has had his moment to shine yet, but it's coming. A true talent indeed.
This film is full of quality characters, great graphic design, and a good soundtrack to boot! If you enjoy a good ride of a movie, please go on this one.
