Buddy ‘Aces' Isreal is a Las Vegas showman and an insecure narcissistic waste of space, but, when he turns evidence to the feds on the mob fraternity that he's tried so hard to impress, the fee for his demise is a cool million and there isn't a killer out there who doesn't want the job. 'Smokin' Aces' is a slick, bloody, brutal gun fest, not as sharp as it would like to think but still an entertaining sub-Tarantino flick.
