Once upon a time, there was an entertaining movie called "Smokin' Aces." Lots of bullets, some humor (Bateman as a furry), and the one thing I sometimes dream of when I am bored: Affleck getting shot dead. And there were lots of famous actors. Who know how to act.
Then there's this.
I can imagine the producers and director saying they had to go further than the first one, so there's sex and lots of blood. But the dialogue is horrendous (they try to make it funny once in a while and that's painful), the action is actually boring and predictable and the film is just shit. It's always nice to see Vinnie Jones play a bad ass, sure, but you know that when the best actor is Tom Beranger, you got a problem.
I never thought I'd get bored watching people getting shot to hell, maybe I'm getting old. Or maybe this film is just so bad that even bullets flying every which way fails to make it interesting.
Oh, but wait: they try to add a layer to the story by being political... But adding a dollop of cream to a shit cake, still makes it a shit cake.
And then, they try to pull a Keyser Soze on us. 'Try' being the key word.
All I'll remember from this film is that Martha Higerada's body makes me want to weep. So, once she disrobes at the beginning, you can stop watching. I know I should have.
