What is Andy Garcias role in Smokin Aces?
In the movie “Smokin’ Aces” Andy Garcia plays FBI deputy director Stanley Locke. A plot description and review from Bill Zwecker at the “Chicago Sun Times.” “Violence is often horribly exploited by filmmakers. Gratuitious gore has become cliche with the raft of slasher movies and the twisted “captive victims” pictures like “Hostel” or the “Saw” films. It’s become so common we hardly pay attention anymore. In Joe Carnahan’s “Smokin’ Aces” you not only will pay attention — you’ll be amazed by this writer/director’s ability to shock us, but in a way that totally makes sense, in the seemingly continual litany of bloody killings in a world of organized crime where violence is the ultimate currency. This is a film that works well because it stays true to the filmmaker’s mission. It fulfills Carnahan’s obvious intention to keep us riveted, horrified and yes, totally entertained for nearly two hours. A big part of this movie’s success is the wonderful way the script interweaves funny moments
