20 Years On, Ben Affleck’s Critically Hated Crime Thriller Is Aging Like Fine Wine

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have had many successful projects together, but also some significant failures, such as Reindeer Games and Surviving Christmas. While films like Gone Girl, Argo, and Gone Baby Gone have received critical acclaim, others like Daredevil and Pearl Harbor were poorly received. However, some of these less successful films are worth another look, like the 2006 action thriller Smokin’ Aces. This darkly funny and fast-paced crime movie is a surprisingly good film that deserves more recognition in Affleck’s career.
