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

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

paul-2123 How hard up must Tom Berenger & Vinnie Jones to "Star" in this utter dross? Words simply cannot express how awful this film is.Apparently the title of worst film ever made currently is Plan 9 From Outer Space.Smoking aces 2 will SURELY take over that title - at least Plan 9 was so bad it was funny! This film had in my mind the following faults: Bad acting, bad script, bad special effects, bad action sequences. It didn't even have a surprise twist ending (EXACTLY same plot as Smoking Aces 2 - but with cheaper actors!) I almost feel resentful for taking the time on reviewing this awful waste of time, but I feel it is my civic duty to prevent others losing around 2 hours of their life on this piece of excrement! I would rather saw off my leg with a blunt rusty saw than be forced to watch this rancid pile of brown stuff! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!P.S I've ticked spoilers just in case - but how you can "spoil" arguably the worst film ever made I don't know!

jfcthejock Well we all know the whole concept of straight-to-video or indeed now straight-to-DVD. Most of the time its reserved for the more low budget films that didn't make the cut for theatre release. I basically watched this on Sky+, basically I recorded it and I gave it a shot. It paid off really, not much thinking needed really. You know the players, you know the plot and you know the target.If you've seen the original big budget release Smokin' Aces back in 2006 then you know what to expect, over the top action and big explosions. Indeed you get this with Smokin' Aces 2 but in a smaller dose, which isn't a bad thing as to me the original was sometimes too over the top action wise and you felt like you didn't get a breather to re-focus your eyes.In Smokin' Aces 2 you've got some wiggle room, you don't feel its as rushed even as the build up to the climax is quite enjoyable really and funny also. A good cast, especially Tommy Flanagan who did some good action sequences and of course Tom Berenger who all shine out in this film. Overall: The Good: Good acting, not great but watchable, good action sequences, not too rushed, some good dialogue moments between charactersThe Bad:Too shortIts a good film, really its about just blocking out your perceptions of it prior to watching it, and having an unbiased view of it.

ajs-10 Having had this recommended to me by a friend, and having seen the first one, I was quite hopeful when I put the disc into the DVD player. Unfortunately, 84 minutes later I was looking for my friends' number to tell him never to recommend a film to me again! I think you can guess I was not impressed with what I saw.Walter Weed an ageing government analyst has had a hit put out on him. Several assassins have been invited to try and kill him on a specific date and at a very specific time. The FBI reacts quickly and moves him into a secure location in a bunker under a Jazz club in Chicago. The assassins, however, seem to have been appraised of his location and move in for the kill. It's every man, and woman, for himself and so there is no team play as they move in for the kill. With time running out, will any of them make it to the prize and collect the three million dollars on offer? I'll leave my short summary here.Apart from Tom Berenger as Walter Weed, none of the rest of the cast put in a decent performance. Maybe not entirely their fault because the script didn't really give them much to play with. The plot, as an idea, was quite clever, but if it had been made as a spy thriller instead of a stupid gun-fest I suspect it would have worked a lot better. I feel sorry that Tom Berenger has had to stoop so low, he deserves better material than this. Over all, really not recommended.My score: 5.1/10

imdb-178478 While I thoroughly enjoyed Smokin' Aces No. 1, this movie gave me brain cramps. I don't even no where to begin, since all parts of it were equally wrong.I'm no quitter, I watched the movie in it's entirety, the whole uninspired story, the sickeningly corny dialogs, the cheapest-possible special effects, the mind-boggling "twist" ending and everything. I could literally feel my brain strangling itself with the spinal cord so the pain would end. I just now signed up at IMDb to warn you, for that taking one for the team wasn't completely in vain. Let's review it in a more structured fashion:First: The Plot. It has nothing to do with the events from Smoking Aces 1 and it's only very loosely related. We have several insane assassins competing for the kill, several FBI agents and a mark. There, the similarities end and the convolutions begin.More than the entire first half of the movie is introduction of the assassins. And you get to sit through very long scenes of unreflected, extreme gore. In a flashback scene, one of the killers is driving several ice picks into the brains of a restrained but conscious man describing the process in every intricate detail. While the camera watches it without blinking. I enjoyed Rambo 4, but this made my stomach turn. It's unneeded and doesn't manage to transport any emotion, not even shock or hatred towards the killer. The rest of the idiocy is stereotypical White Trash Nazis that fornicate their siblings and The Black Widow, a Femme so incredibly Fatale, they had her kill a child molesting, Black Widow-seducing priest right before the altar. Then the FBI assembles to escort the mark to a not-so undisclosed, not-so safe location, but need to hand in their FBI badges and their brains first. Any climactic moment is either ignored (see: Brain Ice Picks) or ruined by one-liners coined by the directors three-year old nephew (see: Black Widow poison-kissing the priest)Second half of the movie is watching brain-deprived FBI agents trying to secure the bunker below. They could've appointed Chief Wiggum from The Simpsons and he'd made less screamingly dumb things. FBI Special Agents AND professional assassins are shooters worse than Imperial Stormtroopers. They're shooting live midget clowns strapped with bombs into the bar above the bunker. Explosion CGI are worse than the special effects on Windows Minesweeper. Dumb FBI agents again, then corny one-liner, then another endless firefight among Imperial Stromtropper marksmen and then the forcefully contorted ending that will leave you feeling mentally molested for at least several hours. The last seconds are the best of it: the main villain is simply shot like a dog. Two bullets put him and his shame of a movie down. No one-liner, no looking back. By adding Jar Jar Binks and Wesley Crusher, this movie would have GAINED character likability.Remember: what has been seen cannot be unseen. Friends don't let friends watch this.
