Aces

For bad acting and three girls who cant even spell poker then this movie is for you. I have never acted in my life and could do a better job then these girl. They must of found them on the side and the road and wanted them to do the part. The acting is forced and they seem like they have know idea what they are talking about.

For anyone in the poker scene do not waist your time with this movie. There have been good poker movies for the poker scene such as rounders. This is a movie worth watching. I just feel bad for anyone that paid money for this It is by far the worst movie i have ever seen in my life.

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.

Imagine Rounders, take out the good acting and plot, take out the reasonably accurate rendition of poker, and add three women who look good, but can't act. That's about it.

Three girls figure out a way to cheat at poker, but then one of them decides they should learn to beat the game straight. So in a matter of weeks she learns to become a world class poker player.

The movie is a complete joke. The poker scenes are completely unbelievable. Half the time they are playing high stakes poker with the kind of chips that they sell in sets at the mall for $20. There are endless mistakes in the movie, too many to mention. One of the most laughable is the big tournament they play in Rio, where they play on a huge round table. Every time they go all in they practically throw their cheap chips into the pot so there is no way of knowing what the bet is. Then because the table is round the dealer can't even reach the chips to put them in the pot! I was not surprised the movie was junk. I just thought I would have it on in the background. There is a reason it is straight to video and no one bothered to rate it.

Okay, so this move is not offensively bad like Battlefield Earth, but it is pretty damn bad. Low budget, poor quality, kinda like soft porn, without the porn. Very weird. If you want to watch a movie about poker give this one a miss. If you want to see some girls that can't act go on a completely unbelievable adventure during their summer vacation, and don't mind low budget crap, take a look at this movie. Otherwise you might just as well watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

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.
