Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Tweekums This follow-up to 'Smokin' Aces' has no real connection to original film; it is however similar in that both involve a large number of rival assassins targeting one man. That one man is Walter Weed, a mid-ranking FBI agent who is confined to a wheelchair and has no access to top secret information... an odd target for a $3,000,000 bounty. That isn't the only strange thing about the hit; it is stipulated that Weed must die at 3am on the 19th of April. He and a team of FBI protectors take cover in a protected bunker under a Chicago jazz club while the assorted killers close in on the location. As they wait for the appointed hour the FBI struggle to discover who placed the contract and why.I thought this film got off to a great start; I was immediately hooked by the question of just why anybody would want to kill an apparently unimportant FBI agent at such a specific time. The introduction to the various assassins is also handled well and they are a suitably mixed bunch. Things then get a little messy; the bunker under the jazz club may be pretty cool but it isn't a logical place for the FBI to hide Weed; surely a remote facility would make more sense. Once the assassins start their attack; both on the facility and each other, things get rather silly... admittedly this is deliberate with red-neck assassins launching exploding clowns into the club! The ultimate explanation as to why Weed is being targeted wasn't a complete surprise but it was still interesting and led to a decent conclusion. Overall I'd say that this wasn't as good as the original film but if you want some action you could do worse.

Peter Mckain oh Jesus this film where to start? I have never seen the original smoking aces but I saw this in a charity shop and thought why not the original is meant to be great. The plot itself I have no problem with bunch of killers hired to kill a guy they all want him but only one can cash in the reward. The writing, however was poor. The blonde girl was like a really annoying version of Sheri Moon Zombie (who I don't mind)and all the stupid forced lines that her family make just really annoys me. Vinny Jones came across as some sort of softie and falls in love with this girl he has just met in a bar which makes no sense. The FBI seem more incompetent than the are in real life if that's possible. The effects were god awful there are these terrible explosions that look like it was done in powerpoint. You know the kind that explodes and leaves no damage and it looks like it's just shoved on top of the background. There are CGI chairs blowing up which looks terrible and even the gunfire looks like a student project. This has put me off watching the original which is so highly regarded I like cheap B movies but this is abysmal. Would not recommend.

philipp-maly Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball is not the worst movie there is, although i allege the people affiliated with making it of trying very hard. It though is the worst movie I have personally managed to watch completely (I saw it with a good friend and after the first minutes we made something like a bearing contest out of it) and no, I couldn't endure more than a few minutes of Vercingétorix, so yes it might be worse, but that is not the point. Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball is just a very, very poorly made movie and I can't explain why there are people recommending or defending it or rating it with more than minimal one out of ten. Now that I have written all of this I'm hesitating, since I'm not sure if it will advance the films fast and eternal oblivion. But since I made the effort...

FlashCallahan Walter Weed is an unassuming desk jockey at the FBI when the Bureau uncovers a plot to assassinate him.A team of degenerate, psychotic assassins dispatched by mystery man Hal Leuco to win a huge bounty includes, a resourceful beauty who has a unique method of killing her prey, a power-tool wielding psychopath, and a deadly master of disguise.....There are a few nod to the original, and even the assassin from the first one who got away, but it's more of a side-quel to the previous film.And for once, i quite enjoyed this straight to blu-ray movie. Berenger looks a little constipated as the target, and has playing card skills (see what they did there!!), but does very little else, thus making the scenes with him and his guards, boring and a waste of time.The rest of the film is silly, but in a ridiculous, enjoyable way. The new assassins are more accessible than the the ones in the tournament, because they do a lot more than just shoot and run, they have a lot more involvement with the story, and a lot of scenes.Deaths are inventive, which for a film in this sub-genre is vital, and it's very funny at times.There is a twist, but you can see it from a mile off, and the best part of the film, is the final kill, because it's fresh not to drag out the point of interests death (you will know what i mean when you see the film).Plus it's the best film ever to feature exploding cannonball midgets.
