Smokin’ Aces has “heart” and “soul”. Read on:

Writer-director Joe Carnahan’s new flick Smokin’ Aces starts 2007 off with a big, big bang. A high-(blood, guts and) octane action-thriller set in Lake Tahoe of all places, Aces gathers together an eclectic mix of underworld and law enforcement professionals who are all out to get one man: Buddy “Aces” Israel (a never better Jeremy Piven).

Part Sinatra, part David Copperfield and part Elvis, Buddy is a glitzy casino magician and entertainer who got a little too buddy-buddy with the Mafia. Buddy essentially becomes a mobster himself but he has neither the smarts nor the guts it takes to make it. So after he gets pinched and the Feds get him to turn informant against aging don Primo Sparazza, the washed-up wannabe’s former gangland allies are out to get him. But to do that they will have to find a way to penetrate his guarded Tahoe casino penthouse.

But the mob’s not the only set of enemies that Buddy has to worry about. Bailbondsman Rip Reed (Jason Bateman) sends three bounty hunters (Ben Affleck, Peter Berg and Martin Henderson) after him to make sure he doesn’t skip bail.

Worst of all, the $1 million price on Buddy’s head triggers a race between seven bad-ass assassins:Acosta (Nestor Carbonell), the Tremor brothers (Chris Pine, Kevin Durand and Maury Sterling), Lazlo Soot (Tommy Flanagan) and, last but not least, the bootylicious pair of Georgia Sykes (Alicia Keys, in her big-screen dramatic debut) and Sharice Watters (Taraji P. Henson).

Oh, wait, and then there’s the Feds who are also out to make sure Buddy doesn’t flee or die before he can rat out Primo in court. Young turk Messner (Ryan Reynolds) and his mentor Carruthers (Ray Liotta) are partners who (gasp!) actually get along and like each other. Their boss Locke (Andy Garcia), however, is a cold fish who may be the keeper of more secrets than he can handle.

Smokin’ Aces Movie Trailer

In theaters now

Synopsis:
BUDDY “ACES” ISRAEL (Jeremy Piven) is a Vegas card sharp cum gangster and former member of the La Cosa Nostra (LCN), one of the largest criminal organizations in the United States. In exchange for a vanishing act with Witness Protection, Israel (who is currently hiding out in the penthouse of The Nomad Casino in Lake Tahoe with his posse of bodyguards and hookers), has agreed to testify against his former mentor, PRIMO SPARAZZA, and the LCN.

When the terminally ill Sparazza takes out a $1 million contract on Israel’s life, word quickly spreads through the underground crime world. The catch: Sparazza wants Israel’s heart. FBI agents RICHARD MESSNER (Ryan Reynolds) and DONALD CARRUTHERS (Ray Liotta) learn that Sparazza has hired “a specialist” to do the job and that rogue LCN members SERNA and PADICHE are also recruiting someone to take Israel out. Realizing that it is only a matter of time before the rest of the world is hipped to Israel’s whereabouts and seeks to cash in on the contract, FBI director STANLEY LOCKE (Andy Garcia) dispatches Messner and Carruthers to Lake Tahoe to secure their key witness.

Simultaneously, bail bondsman JACK DUPREE (Ben Affleck) and ex-cops HOLLIS ELMORE (Martin Henderson) and PETE DEEKS (Pete Berg) are hired by Israel’s lawyers - who were left holding the bag when Israel skipped bail - and sent to Tahoe to pick him up and return him to Vegas.

Meanwhile, Serna and Padiche’s recruits: diva assassins GEORGIA SYKES (Alicia Keys) and SHARICE WATTERS (Taraji Henson), master of disguise: LAZLO SOOT, torture extremist: PASQUALE ACOSTA and neo-Nazis: THE TREMOR BROTHERS all make their descent on Lake Tahoe with the same intention - take out Israel by any means necessary.

Chaos ensues as hit men and FBI converge on the penthouse of The Nomad - bullets fly, loyalties shift and lives end - and shocking secrets are revealed involving FBI cover-ups, hidden motives and true identities.

Cast: Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman, Peter Berg, Brian Bloom, Sharon Bruneau, Common, Andy Garcia, Ray Liotta; Directed by: Joe Carnahan
