"If you took the time now to bother to stuff a collapsible shoulder-launch RPG up somebody's bunghole, don't you think you'd fire it?"

As soon as I saw that the full title of this movie is Smokin Aces 2: Assassin's Ball I giggled to Bigs, "Is it gonna turn into a Ballroom Blitz??" thinking I was so clever. Then they used the song in the movie, and we soon realized that was the highest level of wit that would be employed throughout. This being a straight to dvd movie, our expectations were not high, and they were absolutely met. It was a funny shoot em up with some GREAT visuals like [spoiler] a midget being shot out of a cannon used as a bomb [/spoiler], but it was mostly forgettable. The story was very predictable and a lot of the action was over the top without being all that creative. The highlight for me was Summer Reeser as a badass. She's another one of those actresses that I just find mesmerizing and can't quite explain why. Seeing her as a totally whackjob gun nut was quite fun for me.
