Smokin aces

Smokin Aces is an action movie about a mob boss who puts a million dollar hit out on a rival mob boss, Buddy Isreal. Many of the mob characters are protrayed as the fat italian mobster with much in the same way the sopranos portrays italians. Buddy Isreal is a vegas showman who became involved in the mob and is portrayed much like Frank Sintra, living a high class life of partying, prostitutes, and cocaine. When the word about the massive bounty on his head, a whole slew of contract killers start competeing to get to Buddy first. There are also FBI agents attempting to keep Buddy safe so he can testify against the mob. All the police and FBI agents are portrayed as upper class white males, also known as "the man". Some other charectors fit stereotypical roles such as hugo, the polish baffon portrayed as a sleezy track suit wearing, european ganster who is buddy's right hand man. The tremor brothers, a group of contract killers are a group of 3 white trash brothers. being from a poor background they are shown as stupid and crazy, going on rampant killing sprees as they listen to death metal. The brothers white trash background is further reinforced by all three being stepbrothers, with one mother in common. The few women in the movie are the two african american female killers. Their black backgrounds are reinforced with a hiphop wardrobe, and the use of slang. Although they are strong independant women, they still use a more subtle and seductive appraoch to getting to buddy isreal, as opposed to the brutal killing sprees the male killers use throughout the movie
