    Brian De Palma certainly rolls a pair of snake eyes on this one!
  • September 3, 2009
    Has some cool shots and tries to be innovative but the plot has some holes and the script could be better. Pretty standard Cage and Sinise performances which are enjoyable.

    Good cast and plot. A detective witnesses a murder at a boxing match and they have to find the murderer amongst the crowds. I was in Atlantic City when they were filming the fight scenes.

    I Really enjoyed it, cudda ended better and was quite predictable but i liked it, I like Cage's Character

    I am not a Nicholas Cage fan by any means, though some of his roles occasionally do stand out as nothing less than classic. 8mm, Leaving Las Vegas...Snake Eyes is certainly not one of them. This movie is slow and drawn out and not even the acting of Gary Sinise or the musical sco...( read more)re of legendary Japanese producer Ryuichi Sakamoto can save this mess. Cage plays the ultra-annoying Rick Santoro, a detective in Atlantic City who suddenly finds himself trying to solve a murder during a fixed boxing match. Typical Brian DePalma stuff, which means it's only decent at best. It could've been better.

    Nic Cage is one of my favourite actors but even he couldn't make this a good movie. The plot was full of holes and there was no suspense.
  • September 16, 2009
    The film, mainly because of its plot, weak acting, predictable moments and a poor development, tends to be dissapointing. Brian de Palma still has talent for directing films, believe me. He just needs a better script, and of course, a likeable not-so-predictable story.

    40/100

    This was a thriller rate it as average. Plot was kind of predictable still was a decent film to keep guessing what happens next. I got annoyed a little with Cages character, shouted way too much. Good though.

    Who says the house always wins.

    Another movie that showcased Cage's versatility. But I don't love the way it ended.

Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It's the worst kind of bad film: the kind that gets you all worked up and then lets you down, instead of just being lousy from the first shot. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

You're never asked to invest much in the characters, and by the time you've roused yourself to care, it's too late. full review
