Chris Martin is a bachelor about to marry his longtime girlfriend. Wanting to enjoy his last few days as a single man, Chris spends several nights hanging out with his old high school friends, the "Five Aces". Chris, Ray, Ash, Todd and Sean spend the week at a winter cabin in their hometown, drinking, swapping life stories, and chasing women. Over the course of forty-eight hours, Chris witnesses the blow-up of one his friend's marriages, runs into an old flame looking to rekindle their relationship, and starts to have second thoughts about his upcoming nuptials.
Writing for Film Freak, Walter Chaw said, "For fully half the picture's brief 95 minutes, Five Aces presents surprisingly realistic and sympathetic characters engaging in well-written and performed conversations...The film earns a recommendation for the rapport and general likeability of our sensitive heroes, but it comes with the warning that Five Aces only maintains its integrity for about an act-and-a-half before succumbing to the mawkish and the easy."
