Smokin' Aces (2006)
Should I see it?
Nope.



There are plenty of guns, shooting, blood and cursing - so its a little like hanging out Tom Sizemore on a Friday night.

This film is a well stylized bullet fest with some very clever dialog thrown in for good measure. If hyperbolic, posturing characters and ridiculous gunplay are your thing, you’re in for a ride, but I wouldn't recommend this personally. While inventive, it unashamedly dips into coarse violence for the sake of simply being violent. The smart dialog and sharp filmmaking give the impression there's something more going on than blood and guts, but there isn't. This is all flash and no substance.

Overall, this is a smart person’s version of a dumb shoot ’em up - but if you're smart enough for this movie, you're probably too smart to want to sit through it.

First Blood (1982)
Should I see it?
No.



Its a guy movie - in other words: it's stupid, useless, brute and bloody. While it was well received when it was released, time, not to mention the ridiculous sequels, has not been kind to this flick. Its only saving grace is that out of all of the Rambo movies, this is the "serious" one. Which is like saying, this pile of garbage stinks least.

Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)
Should I see it?
Of course not.



Sylvester Stallone runs around in the jungle glistening in baby oil while he slaughters an untold number of faceless Vietnamese looking extras. Providing a level of needless violence that is more unintentionally funny than thrilling, this follow up to First Blood shows that the words "good" and "successful" don't necessarily go together. If you haven't seen this, don't - if you have, then you hopefully know better than to watch it again.
