Watch Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball For Free

You won't be disappointed!

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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. Smokin Aces wasn't a masterpiece and there were some ridiculous moments to it no doubt about that but it's definitely better than the awful sequel that it got. This movie has some of the worst green screen uses i have ever seen in my life, the characters feel like they were written by a 12-year old who loves fake cgi blood and naked women. Plus the first movie had better characters, cast and actors that could act in general like Ben Affleck, Chris Pine and Ryan Reynolds this one has none of that. (0/10)

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.

First and foremost, this is not really Smokin' Aces 2 - it's a remake of Smokin' Aces. Basically, it seems as if someone saw the first movie, and thought, "Wow, that could have been a really awesome movie, an 8 or 9 out of 10, if only they'd done something with the ending!" So they set out to do it right... and really did fix the ending. Sadly, though, they bungled up everything except that, so the final product is just a poor remake of something only 3 years older than it. The key differences are:Acting: The first had more well known actors, better acting overall, and a particularly strong performance by Ryan Reynolds. This version wasn't bad (overall), but was mediocre.Characters: The first actually had you sympathising with Ryan Reynolds character and feeling 'involved'. This version left me fiddling with other stuff while waiting for the next action scene.Action: The action was a bit better in the first, but still alright in this one.Special FX: The first blended the effects in well. This version seems to have tried to take on a comedic approach to SOME effects that makes it all look cheap and silly. I've seen reviews mention that this is in homage to other films, but I'm more concerned about the result than the reason - and the result is not good.Plot: The first seemed to set you up for some really clever twist, only to finish with nothing really happening. This version fixes that.

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...
