Alright, alright, listen up, y’all gonna hear ’bout this Smokin’ Aces Central thing, whatever that is. It’s some kinda movie, I think, with lots of shootin’ and hollerin’. Don’t rightly know what “central” means, but sounds important, like the middle of somethin’ big.
So, this movie, it’s all about this fella, Buddy “Aces” Israel. He used to do magic tricks, you know, pullin’ rabbits outta hats and such. But then he got mixed up with the mafia, the bad guys. Real bad eggs, those fellas. And now, seems like everybody wants a piece of him.
They put a bounty on his head, a whole million dollars! Can you imagine? That’s enough money to buy a whole lotta chickens and pigs, and maybe even a new tractor. Anyways, this money brings out all sorts of crazy folks. Killers and crooks, all wantin’ to get their hands on Aces and that big ol’ pile of cash.
- First off, you got these FBI fellas, the government guys. They want Aces alive, see, ’cause he knows all the secrets of the mafia. They got these two agents, Messner and Carruthers, tryin’ to keep him safe. Messner, he’s a good fella, seems to care about his partner, which is more than you can say for some folks these days.
- Then you got the mafia, the bad guys Aces used to work for. They want him dead, ’cause he knows too much. They don’t want him squealin’ to the feds, so they send out their own bunch of killers to shut him up for good.
- And then you got all sorts of other folks. Bounty hunters, crazy women, weirdos… it’s a whole mess of trouble, I tell ya.
This here movie takes place in Las Vegas, that Sin City place. Full of lights and gamblin’ and all sorts of temptations. It’s a place where anything can happen, and usually does. They say it’s a place where you can lose your shirt, or maybe even your life. Sounds like a dangerous place to me.
Now, there’s this one fella, Stanley Locke, he’s the big shot at the FBI. He’s running some kinda secret operation, but I don’t rightly know what it is. He’s got his own plans, seems like. Keeps things complicated, you know, like them fellas always do.
The whole movie is just one big chase scene after another. People shootin’ and yellin’ and blowin’ things up. It’s loud and chaotic, like a barn fire on a windy day. And all these folks, they ain’t real, you know? They’re more like cartoons, act a fool for show more than anything. But that’s what makes it kinda fun, I guess.
And then there’s a twist at the end, somethin’ you don’t see comin’. Seems like nobody’s who they say they are, and everyone’s got a secret. It’s like a snake in the grass, you never know when it’s gonna bite ya. The ending’s all tangled up, hard to say who won and who lost. But that’s life for ya, ain’t it?
Smokin’ Aces, they even made another one, somethin’ about an “Assassins’ Ball.” Don’t know nothin’ ’bout that one, but sounds like more of the same. More shootin’ and hollerin’ and folks gettin’ killed. Seems like some folks just can’t get enough of that kinda stuff.
They filmed some of it at a place called Bally’s, a big fancy hotel and casino. Musta cost a pretty penny, all that shootin’ and explodin’ stuff. The actors, like that Jeremy Piven fella and Ray Liotta, they put on quite a show. But it’s all just pretend, you know? Make-believe for the cameras.
This movie, it’s not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure. It’s violent and loud and full of bad language. But if you like that kinda thing, then you might just enjoy it. Me, I prefer a good ol’ western, with cowboys and horses. But to each their own, I always say. This Smokin’ Aces movie, it’s a wild ride, that’s for sure.
