"Yes, the makers of Smokin’ Aces are smoking something, but it sure ain’t aces. Ever have one of those friends who thinks he’s amazingly cool, but nobody else does? Well, give him three acts and a soundtrack and you have Smokin' Aces. This mess couldn’t be more pretentious if it was smoking a hookah and reading Camus outside a North Beach coffeehouse. Any time you hear a movie use quaint mob-talk like "clip," "pinch," and "snitch," it’s time to button up a cardigan and pop a Perry Como LP on the record player. Jeremy Piven is Vegas showman Buddy Aces Israel, and if the phrase "Vegas showman Buddy 'Aces' Israel" turns you off, it's all downhill from there."
