What Parents Need to Know
About Smokin' Aces
Parents need to know that this fast-paced shoot-'em-up isn't for kids. While its combination of over-the-top violence and sardonic attitude produces a certain sort of humor, it's full of bloody injuries and destruction. Most of the characters -- assassins, law enforcement officers, gangsters, bounty hunters, and bodyguards -- are experts in lethal violence who use everything from guns and knives to explosions and disguises. Lots of smoking and drinking, and several characters do drugs repeatedly and excessively (mostly cocaine, but also marijuana and pills). Characters discuss sex, women wear revealing outfits and "play" prostitutes, a young boy develops a "comic" hard-on while showing off his martial-arts skills, and two of the assassins are lesbian lovers. Incessant swearing (over 100 uses of "f--k," plus other language, including the "N" word).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the film's multiple sets of partners (professional, familial, and romantic). How do these characters try to protect each other in the face of horrendous aggression? How does the film portray the FBI as being corrupt? How does the agents' corruption compare to that of the gangsters and assassins? How does the film pull together its many plot strands? Does the film offer any sort of commentary on action movie conventions in its excessiveness? At what point does movie violence get to be too much? Who's the judge of what's acceptable and what's over the top?

very entertaining movie
I know it's gotten bad reviews, but I still liked it. So many action movies ruin themselves by trying to make an emotional story (that no one ends up caring about) that takes away from the action. This movie definatly does not skimp out on the action and I still cared about the characters. I thought it was very well made and was the best action movie Ive seen in a long time

i truned it off
I HATED this movie, it was so gross that i had to turn it off. And i love action Movies but, this movie was too much! From what i saw the language was horrible useing the f word and sexual erms including p=ss=, the sex and nudity was kinda ok but, it showed some hookers one topless. The VIOLENCE WAS HORRIBLE when they intorduce some of the charecters it shows that some of the charecters torcher people and it showes naked people being torcherd, including showing genetial torcher on a man. [does nto show it but does make it clear on what is going on by showing the back end. A man chews his fingers off. I HATED this movie and i din even watch 30 min of the movie so just guess what else is on it... 18+

Great Film - No kids allowed!
This was a great film, although confusing in parts. It was frantic enough to satisfy my short attention span. Great characters, fun plot... I wish they had made it into more films. I want a movie based on the Neo-Nazi Tremor Brothers! The violence is over the top, although not gory, still too intense for children. Language is so bad that I tuned out the swearing after the 60th F word. It lost its shock value at that point. Sexually, there was no on screen intercourse, although some fairly graphic visual and conversation about its aftermath. For fans of Pulp Fiction and Boondock Saints, just no kids.
