Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball is a 2010 prequel to Smokin' Aces.This time, the target is Walter Weed (Tom Berenger), a lowly desk jockey at the FBI on the verge of retirement, who is informed by his bewildered superiors that a massive price has been placed on his head, on condition that he is killed at precisely 3:00AM on April 19th, the very day he retires. He is given a team of Federal Agents as bodyguards and taken to an impenetrable underground fortress disguised as a bar, while all manner of ruthless killers converge on his location. Once again, there is a twist at the end that changes the nature of the story.

Anyone Can Die: The prequel is even worse than the first movie. It introduces several new characters who don't appear or were even mentioned in the original film (except Lester Tremor and Lazlo Soot, obviously). Besides those two, only two characters survive the bloodbath in the film.

Beneath Suspicion: The Leuco investigation had the belief that whoever was the guy had connections within the U.S. Government, but they didn't expected that it would be Weed, who was "mid-level" within the FBI and wasn't high enough to be an immediate possibility, but was still high enough to have access to the needed intelligence and money through cooler talk, standard bureaucracy and some penny pinching. The assassination attempt that the whole film revolves around happens the day before he was to be officially interrogated by the Bureau.

Batman Gambit: Weed put the hit out on himself. He's actually a terrorist mastermind who used his mid level desk job to plot attacks and murders abroad, and used a number of lethal assassins to do it. The entire film is a ploy to get the assassins killed and fake his death to cover his own tracks.

Awesome by Analysis: Finbar immediately susses that Ariella is another assassin, and that most of the people in the bar are feds.
