Really Surprised!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A lot of fun.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

"A movie about 3 hot chicks and poker how bad could it be?" This is what I asked myself prior to shelling out $0.99 at a used book store clearance rack. I wish I could have my time back and so I feel compelled to warn you not to waste your time and maybe my time is well spent saving yours. The production quality is a few steps below bad porno. (without the redeeming effect of the porno itself). I get the feeling that all involved's last production was porno and couldn't pull the strings on these girls. A strip poker scene could have saved this one possibly. (at least for a few minutes). Anyways, no person involved in this movie could have known anything about the game of poker and probably did very little research except maybe watching a couple EPSN WSOP episodes. One scene has them even playing poker on a GLASS DINING TABLE!! Even the most moronic home-gamers know this doesn't work on so many levels. At about that scene 10 minutes in, I tried to fast forward to anything that resembled poker. To no avail. I implore you to never stain your DVD players optics with this piece of trash. WOW. This was possibly worse than Cabin Boy. (my all time worst flick)

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!

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.

this movie about three gals who try to cheat at poker to make money at first had me intrigued, since i love anything dealing with poker! we are first introduced to the con leader Elle who shows her two friends the underground poker scene. the three girls are soon making money the easy way as they go from one illegal casino to another. they make a killing against a seasoned pro named Mr Chow, who we will see later on in the story. Brooke who sees how easily the money is made to try and make it at a legal casino and gets overconfident. she does this by herself without cheating and promptly loses all the money while her friend Piety is sleeping and Elle is getting her groove on. a fight ensues between Brooke and the other two and we see Brooke trying to make a living going back to a 9 to 5 job. but she soon realizes that poker is her calling and the three mend their fences, and get an invitation to a big tournament in Rio DE Janeiro. this invite was sent by none other than Mr Chow who gets his chance for revenge against the three. Brooke is made to play against a tough table of pros without cheating. this movie actually had a great premise, but got bogged down by poor acting. they were all stiff as they come, heck the loosest actor was the cowboy that Elle gets acquainted with! all in all a waste of time if not for the eye candy.
