Smokin' Aces
When a Las Vegas performer-turned-snitch named Buddy Israel decides to turn state's evidence and testify against the mob, it seems that a whole lot of people would like to make sure he's no longer breathing.

Sharice Watters provides cover fire with M82 rifle
Soot poses as Hugo while Carruthers confronts Acosta
The film recovers from its confusing middle act during the hotel infiltration to deliver its most praised action sequence with Watters' sniper support.
Smokin' Aces starts strong with character introductions that reviewers compared favorably to Guy Ritchie films, but suffers from pacing and complexity issues in the middle act. The film rebounds with well-executed action sequences in the final third, culminating in a divisive but dramatically satisfying conclusion that showcases Ryan Reynolds' serious acting chops.
