I’m hopeful that Joe Carnahan’s SMOKIN’ ACES will deliver on the promise of violence both kinetic and excessive. But even if it doesn’t completely satisfy, it’s difficult to argue with the promotional materials… Between the frenzied trailer, nifty vibrant poster (I appreciate anything that’s not another “floating heads” image) and killer tagline “May the best hitman win”, they’ve definitely made me want to see it. (Plus, Alicia Keys looks exceptionally fine.)

But how about this baby? Unfortunately this poster didn’t make the final cut, but I seriously groove on the old-school pulp design. Ray needs to reload, though!

Thanks to Tom at Solace in Cinema for the communiqué!

Extra Tidbit: Actor Ricky Jay (BOOGIE NIGHTS, HEIST) is also a master at sleight of hand, and made the Guinness record book for his ability to hurl playing cards at 90 miles per hour. He also wrote a book titled “Cards as Weapons”.

Beautiful
I love the way they're promoting the movie. The posters (and the ones that were rejected by the MPAA) are artistic.

That's one bad ass poster, and Piven looks like one suave, coke-addled motherflower.

don't worry.
trust me, gang. Smokin' Aces DOES deliver on the promise of violence both kinetic and excessive. and it's got some damn fine dramatic moments to it, too.
this poster is sweet, it needs to be on my wall, stat.
