Just an average Oater. If you like westerns as much as I do, you'll love it for what it is. Classic good vs. evil cowboy flick plot. As a movie the wife might like to watch with you, forget it. Pretty lame and a bore as far as a movies go. For (baby-boomers and beyond) Guys only.

2.0 out of 5 stars Standard Plot, Good Cast, Poor Direction..., May 11, 2008

This review is from: Aces N' Eights (DVD)

"Aces N' Eights" (the title has nothing to do with the story, BTW) revives the old chestnut about the railroad forcing landowners off their property, spiced up with names like Ernest Borgnine (as the most stubborn homesteader), William Atherton (as the nasty railroad bureaucrat, naturally), Casper Van Dien and Bruce Boxleitner (both quite good as gunmen who develop consciences) and Jeff Kober (looking eerily like Denis Leary as the most bloodthirsty of Atherton's men). A minuscule budget and pedestrian direction (by Craig R. Baxley) does the film in, with poorly-staged action scenes, continuity problems, and an annoying reliance on tight close-ups.

It's all been done before, and done better..."Aces N' Eights" is for undiscriminating western fans only!

2.0 out of 5 stars A excellent plot concept ruined, January 17, 2010

By 

Ethan Hall - See all my reviews

This review is from: Aces N' Eights (DVD)

To the films credit, it has a excellent cast and great story line of redemption. The problem with the film is that the screenplay seems to not focus enough on the redemption of the main character. The main character Luke, was a gunfighter who used to ride with a gang and he eventually left after a massacre they committed. The film instead focus almost entirely on the villains and their murders of the families who refused to leave their land because of the railroad, this was wicked distracting and made me extremely uncomfortable. When the main character Luke, played by Casper Van Dein, came onto the screen, it seemed to me that all of his scenes were small and they disappeared quickly. So I gave this film 2 stars because of the lack of focus Luke and the glorification of the villains and their killings. So, it was not the greatest western ever made. All in opinion.
