Smokin' Aces 2007 (hollywood)

The film begins with text, explaining that the FBI has destroyed all of the mafia families in the country, save for one; the last is headed by Primo Sparazza (Joseph Ruskin), who is now old and dying. FBI agents Richard Messner (Ryan Reynolds) and his mentor and friend Donald Carruthers (Ray Liotta) are sitting in a van outside of Sparazza’s house performing surveillance when they intercept and record a phone call.

The conversation alerts the agents to the fact that with a one million dollar bounty on his head, a hit has been put out on Buddy “Aces” Israel (Jeremy Piven) who is a former member of the mafia (now hiding out in a Tahoe casino). Israel is a key witness to shutting down the large mafia operation, and as such, the agents are ordered by FBI Deputy Director Stanley Locke (Andy Garcia) to get to the casino before anyone else to retrieve Israel.

Cutting then between several other characters, the story about Buddy Israel's rise and downfall within the mafia world is told and the identities of those willing to take a shot at the million dollar prize are revealed. Amongst them are: Las Vegas bail bondsman Jack Dupree (Ben Affleck); his two ex-cop associates "Pistol" Pete Deeks (Peter Berg) and Hollis Elmore (Martin Henderson), who have been hired by Rip Reed (Jason Bateman); killers for hire Georgia Sykes (Alicia Keys) and Sharice Watters (Taraji P. Henson); Darwin (Chris Pine), Jeeves (Kevin Durand), and Lester Tremor (Maury Sterling), a trio of psychotic neo-Nazi brothers known for their lack of subtlety; Pasqual Acosta (Nestor Carbonell), (aka The Plague), a sadistic torturer who once chewed off his own fingertips so that he couldn’t be identified; and Lazlo Soot (Tommy Flanagan), a dangerous master of disguise.

As the cast of colorful and deadly characters descends on the casino, we find Israel in the hotel's prostitute-infested penthouse along with his gang of bodyguards, including his right-hand man Sir Ivy (Common), Hugo and Beanie.

Around the same time, bail bondsman Dupree and his associates drive out towards the lake to discuss their plan of going undercover as casino workers to nab Israel. While discussing the minor details of the plan, a car blaring heavy metal music passes by, and then backs up. As the men turn around to look at the car, they are ruthlessly gunned down by the Tremor brothers, who consequently steal the casino outfits for their own use.

Sykes and Watters arrive at the casino and book a room at the front desk. While Sykes stays in the room, Watters goes across the street to another hotel, where she sets up a Barrett M82 .50 caliber sniper rifle. The female contract killers communicate to each other through radios, and Watters watches lustfully as her partner dresses the part of a prostitute to get herself into Israel's penthouse.

Meanwhile, Messner and Carruthers review Sparazza’s file, which reveals that he has had a lot of facial reconstruction and surgery. The agents are waiting for Mecklen (Curtis Armstrong), Israel's attorney, and the FBI to come to an agreement. Mecklen calls Israel and tells him that the FBI want everyone (including Ivy) or else they will revoke their deal of putting Israel in the Witness Protection Program. Although he refuses at first, Israel has no choice but to agree. He does not notice that Ivy has overheard the entire conversation.

Back at the casino, the demented Acosta poses as an FBI agent and asks to speak with the head of security. Soot, also in the casino, kills Hugo and begins making a latex cast of his face.

Watters, watching everything from her sniper rifle, notices the new group of prostitutes that Israel has ordered standing outside the hotel. She relays this to Sykes who waits by the elevator on her floor for the women to come up so she can slip in with them. The Tremor brothers have also gained entrance into the hotel using the outfits they stole from Dupree.

Away from the casino, Hollis, surviving the attack by the Tremor brothers, wakes up in the lake. Severely injured, he makes his way to a cabin where a disturbed Ritalin-fueled boy lives with his grandmother. They take Hollis in and dress his wounds, although their unnatural behavior bewilders him. Eventually, he finds a gun amongst the grandmother’s possessions and tells her that he's going to borrow it.

Messner is called away from the casino to the lake where the bodies of Jack and Pete have been found, and learn that their rented casino uniforms have been stolen. Messner, realizing that a hitman now has the disguises, starts to make his way to the hotel.

Acosta, back at the casino, meets with Bill (Matthew Fox), the security chief, and asks him about the penthouse floor. Although there are no cameras on the floor, security teams are placed at each end of the hallway. Bill claims that it is under construction, but Acosta knows that the penthouse is where Israel is hiding. Acosta murders Bill, takes his uniform, and walks toward an elevator. Carruthers shows up at the same time, and asks the front desk clerk where a security officer is. The clerk sees Acosta, mistakenly thinks that Acosta is a security guard, and points Carruthers in his direction. Acosta and Carruthers get into the elevator and begin to head up to the penthouse together.

In the penthouse itself, Ivy confronts Israel about the telephone conversation he has just overheard, and Israel confesses that he had to sell everyone out. Soot enters the penthouse disguised as Hugo, whom he killed earlier. Soot kills Beanie in the room with a silenced pistol, unaware of the presence of Ivy and Israel in the next room.

While in the elevator, Carruthers cannot get a signal on his cellular phone and notices that the casino guard with him has chewed fingertips. He realizes that the guard is Acosta in disguise, and starts questioning him. Suddenly and simultaneously, Acosta and Carruthers pull their weapons and have a shootout in the elevator, unloading their guns into each other. Sykes and Watters hear the gunshots over their radios and grow increasingly anxious.

The rest of the elevators are shut down, leaving the Tremor brothers, armed with a variety of both ranged and melee weapons, trapped inside of one. They pull out a portable generator to get the elevator working again as they prepare for the kill. Messner and other FBI agents arrive at the casino and discover that someone was masquerading as both an FBI agent and a hotel security guard (Acosta).

Back in the penthouse, Ivy tells Israel that he is going to kill him for selling his own subordinates out. Israel flicks a card at Ivy's head, cutting him just above the eye, and dives for cover into the bathtub. Ivy pulls out his pistol and fires wildly. The security team outside comes in and arrests Ivy. They see Beanie's dead body, and mistakenly think that Ivy’s shots killed him, as Soot hides in a corner, still pretending to be part of Israel's team. The security team takes Ivy away. Israel reassures "Hugo" that he won’t rat him out, and is left alone in the penthouse with him. Soot begins laying out a line of surgical instruments with Israel not paying attention.

Watters gets nervous, having seen muzzle flashes from the penthouse. Sykes, still waiting for her cover of prostitutes to arrive, opens a closed elevator and finds the bloody and dying Carruthers and Acosta. Sykes looks through their clothes for IDs and realizes that they are both apparently FBI agents. Watters discovers that one is a fake by hearing it on her radio. Sykes tells Watters that she will kill the fake. Messner intercepts their conversation.

Messner and the other FBI agents wind up on the floor where Sykes is. They see the open elevator door, the dead bodies inside, and draw their weapons as a precaution. Sykes, hiding next to Acosta in the elevator, tells Watters she's cornered and needs help. An instant later, .50 caliber rounds rip the room apart as the FBI agents panic and fire out the windows at the other hotel. Sykes goes on the attack as well and tries to shoot at them from the elevator. At the same time, another elevator opens and the prostitutes walk into the barrage of gunfire.

In the penthouse, Israel gets a call from Mecklen, who tells him that the FBI backed out of the deal without explaining why. Israel is so distressed that he puts a gun in his mouth to commit suicide, only to collapse on the floor from a drug overdose before pulling the trigger. Meanwhile, the security team holding Ivy are waiting for an elevator to come to the penthouse suite; the elevator doors open and the Tremor brothers jump out, heavily armed with a variety of weapons and ready for a massacre.

Back on the lower floor, after Watters kills several agents, Sykes is shot by Acosta who is then shot by Carruthers. Messner gets to the dying Carruthers. The surviving agents drag both him and Acosta out, but the elevator doors close and Sykes escapes. Sykes can no longer keep contact with her partner because her radio has been destroyed. A distressed Watters, not hearing from her partner, sees a dead prostitute and (mistakenly thinking the body is Sykes), opens fire on the agents again in retaliation.

Upstairs, the Tremors have killed nearly everyone except Ivy, who grabs a pistol and kills Lester. Before Jeeves Tremor can kill Ivy, Ivy shoots him and Jeeves falls upon his chainsaw. Darwin Tremor prepares to murder Ivy but Sykes shows up and saves him. Defeated, Darwin escapes back into the elevator and makes his way down. Sykes, weakened from blood loss and exhaustion, collapses and Ivy begins to carry her down the stairwell.

Back in the penthouse, Soot takes his time in preparing the things he will need to use on Israel. Soot's methodical and precise nature is his downfall as the remaining agents get to the penthouse and stop Soot.

Ivy and Sykes make it outside as well, having a brief encounter with Messner in the stairwell. Messner orders them to surrender, but they convince him that neither of them have any problem with him or the FBI's presence and wish to be left in peace. Messner lets them go and proceeds up to the penthouse.

Israel is taken to the hospital while Soot grabs an agent's gun, shoots an agent, and runs into another room. When he disappears into another room, he sheds his disguise and is able to slip past the pursuing agents.

Downstairs, Soot walks out the front door of the casino. Darwin Tremor, who escapes using an FBI badge he has found in the elevator, walks off to the parking garage. Acosta is carried out in a stretcher, barely alive. Watters, looking back through her scope at the commotion at the casino, sees Ivy carrying Sykes out. The scene cuts to the hallway outside, with agents advancing towards her room. As the scene cuts to the top level of the parking garage, a loud gunshot is heard in the distance, followed by a volley of quieter shots. When Darwin Tremor makes it to the roof of the parking garage, he finds Hollis waiting for him. Darwin apologizes about shooting him and killing his friends, and he gives his car keys to Hollis as a peace offering. As Darwin walks off, Hollis decides to kill him anyway out of spite.

Messner makes it to the hospital, but is still not told exactly what is going on. In a culmination of stress and grief, Messner holds a gun to Locke's back and orders him to explain. They walk into the room where Israel has been placed next to Primo Sparazza. Messner is then told the story of an undercover FBI agent, Agent Freeman Heller, who was thought to have went rogue and switched sides. Shot in the face and left for dead by the FBI itself, he underwent reconstructive plastic surgery to change his appearance and assumed the identity of Primo Sparazza (this is incorrect. He had created Primo Sparazza as his undercover identity, and because of his wounds kept this identity. Originally, it was thought that Heller was killed by Sparazza, but it is revealed that Heller was Sparazza, and was in fact shot by the FBI).

As Sparazza, Heller impregnated a showgirl and had a child: Buddy Israel. Primo Sparazza needed a heart transplant soon, so he decided to take the heart of his son. The only hitman that was originally hired to enter the casino was Lazlo Soot, under strict orders to kill Israel’s entourage and wait for a doctor to arrive and remove Israel's heart. The doctor to perform this operation was the Swede, who was originally thought to be a top-class assassin hired by Sparazza to take out Israel. Since Sparazza had over sixty years of knowledge on the mafia, the FBI soon thought his information was much more valuable than Buddy Israel’s, so the heart transplant would leave Israel dead but Sparazza alive.

Messner is furious that many agents, including Carruthers, have died just so that the FBI could keep a hardened criminal alive. Messner is further outraged that their mission to protect Buddy Israel was for nothing, since the FBI have opted to kill him anyway to keep a worse criminal alive. Locke threatens to fire Messner, but cools down and rationalizes that the loss of Carruthers is making Messner act rashly. While doctors prepare for surgery, the betrayed and vengeful Messner walks into the room in tears, with Israel and Sparazza, and locks the door behind him and pulls the plugs on their life support machines. Messner places his safely emptied pistol, ammunition, and federal badge on the floor. Several agents and doctors, among them Locke and the Swede, try to break into the room as Israel and Sparazza die and Messner stares directly at Locke. The film ends with Messner's facial expression, showing small satisfaction in his accomplishment.

Alternate Ending: The scene picks up with Messner and Locke finished speaking to each other in the hospital. Locke walks away leaving Messner alone with Primo Sparazza and Buddy Israel outside their room. After standing there briefly, Messner pulls out his gun, shoots through the glass into the beds of Israel and Sparazza, killing both.

The Number 23 2007 (hollywood)

Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey) is an animal control officer married to cake shop owner, Agatha (Virginia Madsen); they have a son, Robin (Logan Lerman).

It's almost five o'clock when Walter gets a call to catch a dog. He catches the dog and notices on the tag its name is Ned, but then gets distracted and the dog escapes after biting his arm. It runs to a cemetery, sitting at one particular grave, that of a Laura Tollins.

Because of the incident with the dog, Walter is late meeting his wife and while she is waiting outside a bookstore, she browses through a book called "The Number 23". When Walter finally arrives, Agatha buys it for him.

Walter starts reading the book and sees some similarities between himself and the main character, a detective only known as "Fingerling". The main character explains how he got the name Fingerling from an obscure children's book, and Walter discovers he has the same book. Also of note, the book details Fingerling's meeting with the "Suicide Blonde" whose obsession with the number 23 drives her to murder and suicide. Her explanations and calculations of almost everything — including names, birthdates, and colors — all adding up to 23, drive her insane. These calculations are scribbled all over her apartment walls.

Walter tells his wife and son about this phenomenon from the book, and shows them his calculations, done on their dining room walls, in which his name, house number and social security number all add up to 23, as well. Walter visits Dr. Isaac French (Danny Huston), a friend of Agatha's, whom he hopes will explain the 23 theory.

Walter takes the book back to the bookstore and learns it is self-published and self-printed, and the author, Topsy Kretts ("Top Secrets"), never released any other books.

Fingerling's story continues. It begins to make Walter believe that Dr. French has romantic designs on Agatha. Walter begins to think anything associated with the number 23 is cursed or evil because 2 divided by 3 equals 0.6 recurring, or the Number of the Beast, as Dr. French explained.

Walter's continued paranoia makes him have dreams of killing Agatha, again paralleling the book. Walter has such a vivid dream that he leaves the house in the middle of the night, goes to King Edward's Hotel, and requests room 23.

The book stops on chapter 22 with Fingerling on a balcony trying to decide whether or not to jump, after murdering his lover, Fabrizia.

Walter sees Ned again and follows him to the grave of Laura Tollins (Rhona Mitra) who died on her 23rd birthday; her body was never found. Walter looks into her death and discovers Laura was sleeping with her professor, somewhat like Fabrizia in the book. Walter thinks the professor wrote the book as a confession and goes to see him, yet the visit yields nothing. The man proclaims his innocence of the murder and of being the author, and suggests that "[Walter's] problems are greater than [his] own."

Robin finds a P.O. Box address hidden in the back of the book and they send 23 boxes filled with packing peanuts to it. They wait for Topsy Kretts, who upon being confronted by Walter, becomes panicked, proclaims Walter should be dead and slits his own throat. Inside the man's pockets, Agatha finds an ID card belonging to a mental institution, showing that the man is Dr. Sirius Leary, and tells Walter nothing of it. She goes to the abandoned institute and finds Leary's old office (number 318). In a cell covered in calculations of the number 23, she finds an old box with what appears to be Walter's name on it.

Meanwhile, Robin and Walter, who have been examining the book, discover that every 23rd word on every 23rd page spells out two messages, the first one being, "Find Casanova Spark; dig under the steps to heaven." Robin asks who Casanova Spark is, to which Walter mysteriously replies, "It's not a person."

They arrive at "Casanova's Park" late that night, and going down the staircase marked "The Steps to Heaven", they realize that there are 23 of them. At the bottom, they dig deep in the ground and discover the remains of a human skeleton, presumably Laura Tollins', but when they return with a police officer, the bones have disappeared. Agatha arrives with Dr. French, only raising Walter's hackles more, and they return home. On the way, they encounter Ned sitting in the road. Walter accelerates, intending to kill him, but stops at the last second when Agatha grabs his arm, her fingers stained with dirt.

As Agatha washes her dirt-tinted hands at their home, Walter confronts her about taking the bones and accuses her of writing the book. She tells Walter that, in fact, he wrote the book, and shows him the contents of the box from the Institute. In the box there are detective comics, the manuscript of "The Number 23" with Walter's name on it and a saxophone, the instrument Fingerling played in the book. Walter runs angrily upstairs in disbelief.

He returns to the hotel room where he tears down the wallpaper and finds chapter 23 of the book written on the wall, identifying himself as the author, declaring it his confession and explaining everything; Walter's father killed himself after Walter's mother's death. His suicide note was just pages of things that added up to the number 23. Walter loved Laura Tollins, a woman he went to college with, and grew obsessed with 23 because of his father. Laura eventually began sleeping with her professor and when Walter confronted her about this, declared that she never loved him. He went into a rage, stabbing her and burying her in the park. Ned observed him burying Laura. Like the character in the book, the professor was the first to walk into the room where Laura was killed, and he picked up the knife, covering the weapon with his fingerprints, and staining his hands with blood. With this, he was subsequently arrested for the murder. Walter then went into the hotel room, wrote the book, and then jumped off of the balcony. He survived but suffered severe injuries and trauma, which required intense therapy. Walter then ended up in the institute where Dr. Leary worked. Dr. Leary read the manuscript and, after publishing it, becomes obsessed with number 23 himself. Because of the fall, Walter suffered memory loss and upon leaving the institute he met Agatha.

Walter now turns himself in, thereby freeing the professor and finally relieving his conscience. According to Walter's lawyer, the judge will take "lightly" to him since he turned himself in. Though entering prison, Walter Sparrow seems optimistic about his and his family's future. Right before the movie ends, in the prison, the clock points one hand at 2 and the other at 3.

At the end of the movie you see the Bible reading from Numbers 32:23 "Be sure that your sins will find you out."
