I'm not going to trot out my reasons for digging on Hackers, but I think I was too hyped by CHUD with Smokin' Aces and then Piven and the ending ruined it for me. It's better than Domino (which it reminds me off alot) but not by much. I had no idea there was a Smokin' Aces fan club. Granted I've only seen it once in the theater, so maybe I'll throw it on my queue and revisit it.

Because DTV action slock is cheap and makes a tidy profit. Make it a sequel in name only to an even semi-recognizable film, and even more profit. Surprisingly, not all films are made for artistic merit.
Dug the bounty hunters in Smoking Aces. If someone had combined the bounty hunters of SA with Lucky Number Slevin, that would have been a fun movie.
Can someone explain why Smokin' Aces 2 was made though? Especially since the title to the first one was because of Piven's character.
Universal saw a chance to make money. Seriously, the profit margins on these DTV ventures are so fucking sick that when Blockbuster does die...it's going to fuck up finances for a lot of home entertainment divisions.
