Brief Synopsis:
*A Las Vegas performer turned snitch is to testify against the mob when agents Messner and Carruthers hear the mob talking about killing Israel for $1 000 000 and taking his heart for the mob boss Sparrazza; the agents are on their way to Lake Tahoe when they realize a lot of people will be after Israel.
*Jack Dupree and two ex cops are on their way to pick up Israel and bring him back to Las Vegas; two of them get killed by the Tremor brothers
*Tremors steal security suits for the hotel that Israel is staying at; they get to the penthouse floor only to battle security guards as well as Ivy, Israel's friend/bodyguard
*Pasquale Acosta, famed for his torture techniques, is also looking to kill Israel; he kills the head security guy and takes his identity to get to Israel. He meets up with Agent Carruthers and they have a wicked awesome gun fight in the elevator.
*Lazlow Soot - nobody knows what he looks like - disguises himself as the people who are closest to Israel including the butler and Israel's friend/bodyguard, Hugo
*Georgia and Sharice are a couple of contract killers; Georgia dresses up like a prostitute in order to get closer to Israel but is slowed down when the elevators are down and she finds both Acosta and Carruthers dying in the elevator
*Hollis Elmore survives the attack from the Trmor brothers and finds his way to the worst place with that annoying kid with A.D.D. and his weirdo grandmother.
*In the end, Israel is taken off protective custody because the FBI found new evidence in the case - The man they thought was a mob boss was really an undercover agent who had gotten tons of plastic surgery since the 1950's. The reason why he wanted Israel's heart was for a transplant - Israel was Sparrazza's son.
*Messner kills both Israel and Sparrazza in the end by taking them both off life support.

What I Liked:
*The elevator scene (Acosta and Carruthers)
*The scene where Israel throws the card into Ivy's eye
*The scene where Soot is disguised as a crippled man (nobody would ever suspect) and he jumps up and shoots the guys
*The scene where Dupree dies and Darwin comes over and starts using him as a puppet

What I Hated:
*Sharice...she was boring
*The little Tremor brother...he was useless
*Deeks died early
*Not enough Jason Bateman

Fangirl Moments:
*Peter Berg...naturally
*Darwin Tremor...hottness (not Chris Pine...just Darwin)
*Soot was a dream boat...well not for most people, but for me
*Jeremy Piven = a god
