Snake Eyes
From its incredible opening tracking shot to its suspenseful finale, this Brian De Palma thriller maintains a giddy, fever pitch of cinematic style and excitement. Nicolas Cage stars as Atlantic City detective Ritchie Santoro (his explosive energy and flashy clothes mirror the tone of the film), who finds himself heading a high-level investigation after the U.S. secretary of defense is assassinated at the championship fight he's attending. Ritchie's old pal Naval Commander Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise) was assigned to guard the secretary and now fears for his career. A mysterious beautiful woman in white (Carla Gugino) has something to do with the case but is lost amid the 14,000 spectators trapped in the sealed-off arena crime scene. Meanwhile, a raging hurricane is tearing up the boardwalk outside, and as Ritchie begins to unravel the mystery through the casino's massive camera security system, he discovers truths he'd just as soon not have known about. Taking place almost entirely within the confines of the arena and casino on a single dark and stormy night, SNAKE EYES zips along merrily, delivering loads of glitzy atmosphere and fun, Hichcock-style suspense. The appropriately Bernard Herrmann-esque music score is by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

"...Snake Eyes sports some of the most breathtaking filmmaking of De Palma's career -- and Nicolas Cage is the one actor who cannot be upstaged by it..." -- 3 out of 4 stars

Trashy Pleasure
A trashy film really, with a slight hint of redemption thrown in. This is one of the Brian De Palma films that kind of doesn't have the epic sweep of the ... read more »

Interesting but lacking
This movie more or less kept your interest throughout, but it DID drag at times and could have been a lot more fast paced.
It is quite a good ... read more » - 964706

Nic Cage on the Loose
- 17 May 2010
‘I have an acronym for myself. Know what it is? B.A.D. B.A.D: Balls. Attitude. Direction. You should give yourself an acronym...it helps you visualize your goals.’ - Nicolas Cage as Little Junior Brown, Kiss of Death. Is Nic Cage a great actor, or is he just pretending? You will find passionate advocates for both sides of that coin, and with evidence to back them up. He’s an eccentric among movie stars, an A-lister with a taste for B movie barnstorming; a showboat who... Read more
