Aces

First off, i wish there was a way to give a negative rating on movies. Second, i cant believe someone sat there, read the script, thought it was good. Shot a pilot, thought it was good. Went out and drummed up money, got a cast, shooting crew, scouted locations... I mean come on. SERIOUSLY!! burn every copy ever made and kick the producer in the nuts. I swear if he thought this was his big break or something, it was not his big break. It must have been some porno producer that wanted to "go legit" I never, ever make comments on movies, but I am seriously upset with myself I even spent the time to skip forward thu the whole movie. I saw about 3 seconds of tits. that was it. a complete cock up. a waste of time. dig a hole and put this in the ground. im sure that if i took a crap in a bucket and smeared it on my TV I would have enjoyed it more than watching that movie. its almost so bad that i would love to give it out as a gift to people I hate! kill it, kill it now, and kill it fast!! i feel sorry for whoever sunk money into this thinking they were going to make it rich.

If you love Texas hold'em, do not watch this movie. Actually, it doesn't mater if like it or not, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!

The acting in "Aces", was just horrible. It makes porn actresses look like possible candidates for an Academy Award. And the cast of this movie are just as credible as Elijah Wood in Hooligans. Because, we all know one of these playboy models majoring in math and kicking ass at the poker tables.

Then again, good actors wouldn't have covered the predictable and shallow plot in this movie. Saying that it's more interesting to watch paint dry, would be an exaggeration, but it's very close to it.

If you're interested in Texas Hold'em, I'd recommend you watch a show called "Tilt", that aired on ESPN in 2005. It's tense and exciting, and have some good poker scenes. In general, it's good television, something "Aces" isn't.

I never got to see this movie fully thank God, but i did catch big chunks of it on TV, and I have to say this is awful, absolutely gutting! The setting, music, acting and script all seem to be indicative of soft porn but somehow it isn't, and worst of all they always make porn references. The closest to porn is probably the hotel room incident with the blonde girl, but even that is weird.

The girls are gorgeous make no mistake, and I still think that they had failed porn careers (alongside the producer) then changed their names and wanted to go legit (since my searches didn't show much)! However, this movie is HIGHLY unrecommended even to the poker die hards! Bottom line, you are better off without this junk, go play poker or watch a soft porn flick instead!

This has to be one of the worst poker movies I've ever seen.

I've played poker at low and high limits and in casinos and private games. The only accurate part of the game the director and screenwriters got right was the fact that we do indeed use cards to play hold'em.

The ending was lame, not even slightly plausible.

The lame montage that shows the lead character going to the ghetto to play hold'em was downright laughable.

Oh, and the acting, in a word, horrible. I gave it a 2, because the director managed to remember to remove the lens cap before shooting.

The acting in this film is very poor. The film contains no drama it is bland from start to finish. Most movies shot on video try their best to emulate the look of film. This movie was shot on 35MM film but it look like a badly shot video. The director made a big deal on how they flew down to Rio De Janeiro to film the end of the film. But nearly all the scenes takes place in a hotel room which could have been shot anywhere. The director must have double vision, since he always frames a shot like there are extra people off to the side. All the shots leave too much room around the actors. Also the depth of focus is too wide. Most films use a shallow depth of focus so that only the actors are in focus.
