Smokin’ Aces
I caught Smokin’ Aces last night and I have to say the one thing I was most impressed with was a better depiction of a 50 cal. sniper rifle than you usually see. Granted, it wasn’t quite the level of gore, but still it was nice.
Talking about gore, I noticed a shockingly small amount of it for a movie that was so violent. I mean it was there to some extent…especially lots of blood splashed on the walls, but all said it was pretty tame.
Another fine feature was the overall lack of jigglycam work. Yeah, it has its place, but far too many movies put you in the position of not having the slightest clue as to what is happening because the camera is moving too fast, and honestly that really ruins stuff for me. It ends up being far more of a letdown than a buildup of excitement.
Overall I liked it. I might have to add it to the collection if only for the cyberpunk assassins. They were fucking funny.
