Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C
Source Brief Review Grade*
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie
"...Smokin' Aces isn't just pointless, fatuous and crass. It's also dated." more... D  
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
"...teases us with action-movie frivolity, then rubs our noses in grisly bloodletting..." more... C  
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Zwecker
"This is a film that works well because it stays true to the filmmaker's mission." more... A-
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"Carnahan shoots everything for maximum slime- glamor..." more... C  
E! Online
Matt Stevens
"...plays like regurgitated Tarantino--without the chunks of wit and originality." more... D+
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
"You can't take it seriously, but the movie is as lively as it is debased." more... B  
filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
"...quickly engages the viewer but just as quickly stuffs the plot with enough peripheral storylines to garner an Advil intermission." more... C  
Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
"While the film bristles with cinematic verve, it also is as second-hand as an antique store." more... C  
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
"...fun for roughly half an hour." more... D  
New York Times
A.O. Scott
"...may not only be dumb in itself, but also the cause of dumbness in others." more... D-
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"...a vague and unsuccessful attempt to bring together a bunch of offbeat, unrelated characters in a situation where a bloody resolution is inescapable." more... C  
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
"...shamelessly and unapologetically a guy movie." more... B  
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"...Smokin' Aces has humor and flash, and there's always something going on." more... B  
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
"Smokin' Aces isn't a story, it's a premise with a madhouse of characters flung into a collision course that ends at the same finish line." more... C  
USA Today
Claudia Puig
"...suffers from desperate wannabe syndrome." more... D
