Character development at it's best. Written and on the screen. It draws audiences to see it and big name talent to be in it.

People love to dump on this movie...namely for the unrealistic plot and action. The first time I saw this it was in the theater and I felt like everyone else...I was dissapointed and it just felt like a big letdown.

However, this movie has grown on me like no tomorrow. Forget the plot and how its totally unrealistic. This movie has some of the best and funniest dialogue. It you watch the Gag Reel on the Criterion edition you'll see how much fun the actors had making this. The dialogue in this movie is funnier than most comedies out there, you just have to ignore the plot and pay attention to it. The humor is very dry and the characters all gel really well together. Its the little lines that make this movie..like when Bruce Willis is having an argument with his daughter, and ... Read More

Jeremy Piven is Buddy Israel, a Vegas entertainer who's in way over his head. He's about to turn state's evidence, and everybody is out to get him, from the feds who want to put him in protective custody, to bounty hunters to various mob assassins. It's a race to see who'll get to him first, and if any of them will get to him before he implodes.

Smokin' Aces is action-packed, star-studded, bullet-riddled, and over-the-top. I think that's why I liked it so much. It's the movie equivalent of riding a rollercoaster. A thrill ride. You don't have anything to show for it when it's done, but damn, it was fun while it lasted.

In other words, don't look for a deeper meaning, or even any sympathetic characters in this movie, unless maybe it's the hit woman's girlfriend. That was an affecting ... Read More

I don't even know why people would even compare this movie to The Titanic. Pearl Harbor Came out in 2001--4 years after The Titanic. It also came out just in time for The 60th Anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I was living on Hickam AFB, Hawaii, right across the street from Pearl Harbor when the DVD was first released and I bought it right away. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I was basically living right where the whole battle took place. Living on the base and watching this film, I immediatley felt the undenying emotion of the whole bombing and thought the love triangle was very realistic. Things that really do happen in everyday life--especially in military life. Also, like somebody already said in one of their reviews--"IT'S A MOVIE, NOT A DOCUMENTARY!"

There are some good things about this show, and some bad things. It is a dark movie, as it should be, being that Daredevil is a dark character. Collin Farrel was absolutely perfect as Bullseye. His preformance was the best part of the movie for me. I have some reservations regarding the decision to cast Ben Affleck as the lead.

The main thing lacking is back story. They needed to show some more of Daredevil's training and explain more about how he got his powers. What they did show was just insufficient. I don't buy that a 12-year old boy could train himself like that, even in a comic book.

I also did not like the obvious CGI effects, and there was too much gymnastics in a lot of the fighting scenes.

There is nothing special about the DVD. Over all the film ... Read More

The first time I saw this movie I was feeling a bit depressed...I'd been trying to buy a house for ages and everything kept coming up NO and it was just frustrating...so I had no expectations of being amused - I was just there with a couple of other friends and my daughter...
Boy, did I laugh myself silly! So many of the situations were so incongruous - my favorite was the "mini marshmallows". I couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD...it seemed to take forever. I still can't understand why some people just don't see the humor in it! My daughter and I just laugh at the mention of the movie - and we look forward to watching it every year - I have to wait till she comes home from college this year - she begged me to wait!

Right off - this is one of Giovanni Ribisi's best performances. It's compelling but we never really feel the heat of the Boiler Room. The Danger. The Action. Ben Affleck is extremely good but brief in this - one of his forgotten performances. Everything else about the movie has been said here. More sex, scandal and intrigue would've elevated this way above. EXTRAS: The "original ending" is actually a lot more artful and smarter than the one we get in the final cut. Overall, worth comparing to Wall Street? No. Worth watching? Yes.

While I never thought Kevin Smith movies were horrible, I always thought the dialog was too scripted (like Star Wars) and pretentious. Clerks was interesting, but overrated in my opinion.

Then I took a chance on this movie and thought it was great. There are the usual elements of a Kevin Smith movie, including taboo subjects that get to the line and then obliterate it. But there is also sentimentality. Smith does an excellent job of not only making the characters more interesting, mature, authentic, and likable in this sequel, but also ending the movie on a positive note.
