Smokin' Aces review

While on my trip to Connecticut, I watched Smokin' Aces with some friends. It was about as violent as you'd expect, with a few twists and turns thrown into the plot to keep it from getting too predictable. It was still quite predictable. Piven was fun to watch, as he typically is, and there was plenty of star power to keep the movie worth sitting through, but it wasn't as much fun as it should have been. There were some nice touches, like the crazy long gun woman with the .50, and the magician with the dangerous wrist flick. It was a bit odd seeing Goodfellas star Ray Liotta as a law enforcement type.
