Smokin' Aces
Nobody gets away clean.
Directed by Joe Carnahan
Produced by Universal Pictures, Working Title Films
A darkly comedic, high-octane crime thriller built around a converging gauntlet of assassins and law enforcement, balancing graphic violence with irreverent humor.
When a Las Vegas performer-turned-snitch named Buddy Israel decides to turn state's evidence and testify against the mob, it seems that a whole lot of people would like to make sure he's no longer breathing.
