Mob boss Primo Sparazza has taken out a hefty contract on Buddy "Aces" Israel, a sleazy magician who has agreed to turn state's evidence against the Vegas mob. The FBI, sensing a chance to use this small-time con to bring down big-target Sparazza, places Aces into protective custody-under the supervision of two agents dispatched to Aces' Lake Tahoe hideout. When the word of the price on Aces' head spreads into the community of ex-cons and cons-to-be, it entices bounty hunters, thugs-for-hire, deadly vixens and double-crossing mobsters to join in the hunt. With all eyes on Tahoe, this rogues' gallery collides in a comic race to hit the jackpot and rub out Aces. When a Las Vegas performer-turned-snitch named Buddy Israel decides to turn state's evidence and testify against the mob, it seems that a whole lot of people would like to make sure he's no longer breathing. Someone previously commented that the guy who cut the trailer to this film must have been a genius. I strongly agree.<br/><br/>I was promised wit, suspense, stylish action, interesting characters. What I got was one of the most clichéd, unsuspenseful movies I've seen since Evita. The acting was flat, action boring, and suspense… There was none.<br/><br/>The movie was so lacking in fact, that the only laughing and cheering from the audience was from the previews! I'm very sorry to anyone that has already had the unfortune of watching Smokin' Aces but I also would like to apologize for Alicia Keyes, she promised to be the most interesting character, but for some reason the director stuck to an already dead script.<br/><br/>*SPOILER* The only good thing besides Ben Afleck getting capped so early was the trailer. The editor who cut the trailer should win an academy award. That doesn't mean the movie itself was well edited.<br/><br/>If you were to avoid just one movie this year… This is it. i was extremely disappointed in this movie. with all the high quality pulp that's been coming out in the last 4 or 5 years it's hard to believe they really screwed this up as badly as they did. not the actors of course. this movies only saving grace is a series of knock out performances from almost every single cast member. Jeremy Piven has long been a personal favorite of mine and he has never let me down. even in a movie like this where he gets limited screen time and only scraps of plot to work with he kills the part like it said something bad about his momma. The only characters i really could've done without where the female assassins. They're prattling jive talk did little if nothing to advance the plot. Speaking of the plot, W.T.F.? They gave away that the head mob guy was the undercover agent way way way to early. I had it pegged the second they showed the f.b.i. guy talking about plastic surgery. The commercial had promised 'plot twists' and the only one i could run down was that Ace's was the mob boss/f.b.i. guys son. That barely counts as a plot twist in my book. I thought the dike assassin was gonna have it out with the rapper and that the cop who got shot was going for Ace's. I gladly would've sat through another 20 minutes of this movie if only for a more satisfactory ending. the alternate ending on the DVD was much better just for the simple reason that it was short and to the point. the ending they went with drags and drags and it's probably only a minute and a half long. for people who like action movies with steven segal and van damme this is right up your alley but for people who like true pulp content and where hoping for the next coming of crime movies go watch grindhouse or rent lock stock and two smoking barrels cause this is garbage. A cheerfully disposable gangland freak-show thrill ride that's been directed by the gifted Joe Carnahan (Narc) as if he were trying to give the audience a seizure. … Richard Messner and Donald Carruthers listen in on Serna and Padiche's phone call?
