Lowly FBI clerk Walter Weed (Tom Berenger) unwittingly becomes the target of assassins when gangland kingpin Hal Leuco places a bounty on his life. Responding to the call, a motley assortment of hit men -- including poisons expert Ariella Martinez (Martha Higareda), drill-toting lunatic "The Surgeon" (Vinnie Jones) and masked assassin Lazlo Soot (Tommy Flanagan) -- are in hot pursuit of agent Weed. Now Weed's only hope for survival lies in the hands of FBI agent Zane Baker (Clayne Crawford).

The creative whole is even more vapid, illogical and wasted than the first film.

Rated: 5/10

The biggest problem is that Smokin' Aces 2 is so infatuated with its predecessor that it never makes much effort to become its own thing.

Rated: 1.5/5

If you've seen the first movie and want another fix of much of the same sort of mayhem, then Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball is probably one you should be adding to your list of movies to buy or rent in 2010.

The film isn't all bad considering anyone watching it knows exactly what they are in for, but it's definitely nothing more than direct-to-DVD fodder.

As entertaining as this movie was, it just lacked the panache of the original. The story was well thought up and the characters were just as good. 3 out of 5 stars.

Pretty loosely connected to the first movie. Also much much worse. I know the original Smokin' Aces isn't exactly Citizen Kane, but it's a good time as far as I'm concerned. Assassin's Ball is not so much. It spends so much of its time imitating things people liked about the first movie, which only makes it more obvious that it's worse. You wouldn't have to worry about being called a pale imitation if you did more than just imitate. What's more, poorly. I guess the quote unquote twist at the end was a little bit better in this one than the last, but it was revealed in so much poorer a way that you don't really notice. There's still the guns and whatnot that I guess are most vital, so it's not like it's worthless, it's just poorly made.
