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.
