Synopsis
Smokin' Aces (2006) is Joe Carnahan's pitch-black action comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Buddy Israel (Jeremy Piven), a sleazy Las Vegas magician with mob ties, agrees to flip and testify against the family. The bosses respond with a one-million-dollar bounty on his head.
What follows is a feeding frenzy. Every contract killer in the business descends on Buddy's penthouse: chainsaw-wielding lunatics, a master of disguise, brutal neo-Nazi brothers, and a pair of leather-clad assassins played by Alicia Keys and Taraji P. Henson. Two FBI agents, played by Ryan Reynolds and Ray Liotta, are stuck guarding a witness who refuses to lie low. By the time the bullets fly, nobody is sure who is working for whom.
The ensemble runs deep, from Andy Garcia and Ben Affleck to a young Chris Pine and Matthew Fox. Carnahan keeps the chaos loud and the body count high, then drops a final twist that reframes the whole bloody mess. Stream Smokin' Aces (2006) online on iFILM.
