EVERY MOVIE HAS A LESSON

The movie and Smokin' Aces director Joe Carnahan amp up the signature action of the original series in every way possible.  Instead of the same staged Hollywood car flips and rolls, we get parachuting tanks.  Instead of badly reused helicopter stock footage from cop shows, we have the power of CGI effects.  Despite the overused style of queasy-shaky action camera shots and choppy, hypercutted editing that's been an unfortunate action movie standard since Michael Bay made it cool over a decade ago, all of it creates and absolute blast of a movie experience!  Sure, the action may be physically and mechanically preposterous,  but that's the point and that over-the-top spirit matches the B-movie style of the original show perfectly.
