Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

spiff-12 Again. Another movie in the 90's; when we all rented vids or went to the movies; that was a total let down. I remember this movie specifically. It looks like it was shot in one casino. I love Nicolas Cage because no one else is quite like him. I think we all love the iconic method actors. All Nicolas cage years (0 is a number!) of studying at the prestigious "My Uncle is Francis Ford Coppola" school of acting paid off as he both chewed scenery and over forced the portrayal of his character like he was desperately trying to suck a sausage through a straw. He has definitely had better performances.Once again a 90's movie where you are sitting in the theater wondering when they will get to a part that justifies the budget and finally realizing that you have been ripped off as the ending credits roll.Fortunately most movie makers realized, like the US Automobile industry in the '70s, if you make a shoddy product then the masses will go elsewhere. Now we have digital media and the passion has come back into TV and movies.

andreolimarco I think that the strong point of this film is the direction. Maybe the story is predictable, little original and so on... but it is undeniable Brian De Palma's job on camera movements and on the style is extraordinary. Do we want to talk about the - fake - long take at the beginning, that lasts more than 10 minutes, in which the whole meaning of the film is included? Moreover, I've seen much worse performances by Nicholas Cage.

Nadine Salakov "Snake Eyes" is one of those movies that shouldn't be underestimated, the plot isn't simple and standard, every moment is imperative. Unless you have wireless headphones, don't leave the room without pressing "pause" because if you miss any parts, you won't have a clue what is going on.One of the good things about this plot is that most aspects are connected, nearly every scene and nearly every circumstance, there is a scenario that is not so quite connected and that is when the female main character is hanging around with an unlikable guest at the hotel, that scenario is needed, but only up to a certain point.There's many twists and at times this film is downright creepy (especially the "hear comes the pain" flashback scene).Director Brian De Palma knew what he was doing when he made this, and David Koepp also did a good job helping him put this story and screenplay together, Nicholas Cage was the right choice for the male lead.

AudioFileZ If you're like me you want to like Snake Eyes. Nicholas Cage and Brian DePalma make for that possibility. I mean Cage needs a good role and DePalma whose talent hasn't exactly been up to it's early level should be ready for another hit. Snake Eyes isn't going to be that hit. This movie moves and I mean moves. It's a frantic start with Cage showing some chutzpah with what he's painting. The venue is perfect for DePalma as it's maximum humidity and torrential rain in Atlantic City. With a rigged fight as the backdrop for a complex crime none of the potential is wasted early on. The cinematography is like another character in it's intensity and power. Things soon start unraveling though. The story is way too much of a stretch playing out with a cast of unlikely characters in a way too public place. Gary Sinease is slumming here and it feels wrong. Cage continues to do his schtick better than the movie actually gives him legs to do. It becomes ridiculous way too fast and deep.This is the type of movie I tend to keep watching to see if my early investment might be redeemed. In this case it's a waste though since it just keeps sinking under the mess it's created for itself with the lame story.
