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

By	Benjamin J Burgraff - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

"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 Ernie is the reason for both stars..., May 15, 2008

By	Richardson "Clarence" (Sunny California USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is a tired and very played out story...the acting is pretty hack level and the direction is by the numbers. Ernest Borgnine is a gem and everything he does is "authentic" while pretty much everything else feels a notch below a quality movie of the week circa 1972. Bruce Boxleithner's paunchy brown toothed gunslinger isn't bad though its a cliche part/character. I wasted 9 bucks on it...don't go out of your way to find it on cable. I love westerns...this isn't going to do ANYTHING for the genre.
