SMOKIN’ ACES 2: ASSASSINS’ BALL trailer
Back in 2006, Joe Carnahan made a shoot-em-up film called SMOKIN’ ACES. It didn’t do well at all critically (27% on Rotten Tomatoes’ TOMATOMETER), but the more I watch it, the more I love it. Call my choice in movies terrible, or congratulate me for sticking with my opinions, but I’m always going to support this movie!
Anyway, Mr. Carnahan has stepped back from the director’s chair to sit in the producer’s for SMOKIN’ ACES 2: ASSASSINS’ BALL. So nobody gets confused, this is not the sequel Carnahan has been rumored to make. This straight-to-DVD prequel is directed by P.J. Pesce, the man behind the god-awful LOST BOYS: THE TRIBE. Almost ruining the original LOST BOYS aside, I thoroughly enjoyed this prequel’s trailer. It’s got Vinnie Jones, some pretty ladies, and a lot of blood and bullets flying throughout, so it looks to be a little bit of fun. Plus, I haven’t seen Tom Berenger since SNIPER, so I’m stoked to see him doing some work!
Check out the trailer, poster, and official synopsis after the jump! SMOKIN’ ACES 2: ASSASSINS’ BALL hits Blu-Ray, DVD, and digital download on January 19th, 2010.
Official Synopsis: Federal agents once again match wits with a cadre of creative killers in the high-octane feature-length film Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball. Walter Weed (Tom Berenger) 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 (Martha Higareda), a power-tool wielding psychopath (Vinnie Jones) and a deadly master of disguise (Tommy Flanagan). Also in the hunt is the fan-favorite Tremor family from the original film, featuring nymphomaniacal gun-nut (Autumn Reeser) and her lethal kinfolk (Maury Sterling, Michael Parks and C. Ernst Harth). Baker (Clayne Crawford), the agent in charge of the operation, puts himself and his team in the line of fire to defend Weed, but it’s not until the smoke clears on the film’s explosive climax that the surprising identity of the plot’s mastermind is revealed.
