Summary: One of DePalma's worst
Review: I saw "Snake Eyes" in the theaters a few ago because I am somewhat of a fan of Brian DePalma. Unfortunately, this movie is one of DePalma's worst.The United States Secretary of Defense is assassinated at a major boxing match and corrupt cop Nicholas Cage later uncovers the conspiracy. "Snake Eyes" is one of DePalma's worst movies. The film has one of the worst time-credibility problems that I have ever seen in a movie. The viewer witnesses the opening of the film, the introduction of the major characters, the assassination sequence, and Cage's lone unraveling of the mystery. All of these events take place over a period of time less than twenty-four hours. I couldn't believe that all of these events could take place in such a short period of time and that one lone corrupt cop could uncover an intricate conspiracy so quickly. In "Blow Out," another Brian DePalma film which also focused on a political assassination, movie soundman John Travolta uncovers a similar conspiracy over several weeks(A much more credible period of time). The post-climax extension of the story involving Cage's law enforcement career seemed as if it were added on at the last minute and was completely unnecessary. The viewer doesn't develop any real concern for DePalma's characters in this movie. Cage's sudden transition from cop-on-the-take to do-gooder was also unconvincing. Something happened to Brian DePalma after the 1970s. After his masterpiece "Dressed To Kill," DePalma has failed to make one genuinely good thriller. Only "Blow Out" and "The Untouchables" come close to his original work. Since "Dressed To Kill," DePalma has largely wandered through forgettable thrillers("Body Double," "Raising Cain"), plastic Hollywood blockbusters("Mission: Impossible"), and outright disasters("Bonfire of the Vanities"). Perhaps DePalma will make a comeback one day. "Snake Eyes" is a disappointment.

Summary: THE HOUSE WINS
Review: Anytime you have a crooked cop as your hero/antihero, you're taking risks. The audience is expected to sympathize with this character, yet for most of the movie, you're not too happy with his bad cop persona, so when he does become the "hero," you have to remember the pre-hero person. Nicolas Cage stars as Rick Santoro, the aforementioned cop, who happens to be at a prizefight in the Atlantic City arena when the Secretary of Defense is assassinated. The conspiracy plot is easily identified, and the main culprit's identity is no real surprise.
Brian DePalma, who has helmed such interesting films as BLOW UP, BODY DOUBLE and DRESSED TO KILL, uses his patented camera style to establish some splendid scenes, and his use of different points of view is likewise compelling. However, with such a weak and sometimes incoherent plot, all the visuals do is reinforce how empty the rest of the film is. Gary Sinise is his usual professional self; Carla Gugino is an attractive damsel in distress, and it's nice to see Stan Shaw in a sizeable role. Cage is hopelessly melodramatic at times, but does well in some of his quieter scenes. Not one of DePalma's best, but good for a rental.

Summary: Entertaining, But Unoriginal
Review: This movie was so pointless and ordinary that I finished watching it just fifteen minutes ago, and I've already begun to forget its plot. Frankly, I was expecting much more from this movie. I figured that when you have a great director, an Academy Award winner, and an Academy Award nominee working together on a movie, it might be worth watching. For this particular movie, I was wrong. This movie takes place in Atlantic City, where there is a big boxing match at which the Secretary of Defense of the United States is in attendance. He's assassinated as the match commences, and at first this murder seems like a textbook case of a political fanatic who kills a politician in order to raise awareness about his cause, but soon the plot thickens. Nicholas Cage plays the detective in charge of uncovering this plot, and Gary Sinise is his friend and fellow law enforcement official who is really the brains behind the assassination. The rest of the movie involves some hackneyed cat and mouse scenes, but nothing incredibly memorable. There are two very talented actors in this movie, and they weren't able to display their talents here. This type of movie is really too simplistic for actors of this caliber. The truth is that you'll be entertained for the duration of the movie, but if you're looking for something that's Oscar worthy, this isn't it.
