In Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball, Walter Weed (Berenger) is an unassuming, low-level desk jockey at the FBI, when the Bureau uncovers a plot to assassinate him. A team of degenerate, psychotic assassins dispatched by mystery man Hal Leuco (Fred Henderson), to win a huge $3 million bounty, includes a resourceful beauty who has a unique method of killing her prey (Higareda), a power-tool wielding psychopath (Jones), and a deadly master of disguise (Flanagan). The other assassins are the Tremor family from the original film, featuring nymphomaniacal gun-nut (Reeser) and her lethal kinfolk (Sterling, Parks, and Harth). Baker (Crawford), the agent in charge of the operation, puts himself and his team in the line of fire to protect Weed, but it's not until the smoke clears on the film's explosive climax that the surprising identity of the plot's mastermind is revealed. (Gary Reber)
