As you know, we attended a special engagement of the movie Smokin' Aces last night. I have great things to say about this film; first off, the cast list was amazing (see below for the complete list) and the action was awesomely non-stop. Think Get Shorty mashed-up with Snatch (or any Guy Ritchie film for that matter). It was gory, funny, shocking, and twisted. There is only one small complaint - the ending was a little too obvious. Plot: A dying mob boss takes out a $1 million contract on the life of his former protégé, a Vegas magician turned gangster who has agreed to testify against the mob. The FBI attempts to protect their key witness as an array of hit men and women descend on Lake Tahoe in a race to take the magician out.
