Summary: Why would DePalma do this movie?
Review: I love Nic Cage, but he is simply miscast here. We never believe him as the loveably crooked charmer, nor as a highly respected and influential detective. The plot is SO predictable and worn, we wonder why someone like Depalma would be interested in shooting it. Because it is beautifully shot. This movie is for DePalma freaks only, although it did have a nice preformance by a lovely creature named Carla Gugino.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Definately not one of De Palma's best efforts...
Review: An interesting story, with some quite spectacular visuals, is marred by a ludicrous ending and a surprisingly poor performance by Cage. After the latter is beat-up, he stumbles around in an almost comedic fashion. This particular scene had me unintentionally laughing -- definately an indication of a performance gone awry.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Snake eyes great movie
Review: Snake eyes is a great movie from it's spectacular opening shot to it's final closing it keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole movie, it's one action shot out after another.

If you haven't seen it yet be sure to catch it at your local video store

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BAD MOVIE
Review: I went to see this movie cause I love all Nicolas Cage movies. I almost fell asleep. It was boring and hard to follow. Don't waste your money

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: PERHAPS THE MOST FRUSTRATING FILM I'VE EVER SEEN
Review: I'M NOT SURE WHETHER TO GIVE THIS FILM 3 OR 4 STARS. OH WELL,I'LL JUST GIVE IT 4. THIS FILM IS SO FRUSTRATING. THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IS BREATHTAKING AND PERHAPS SOME OF THE BEST EVER PUT ON FILM. HOWEVER,THIS FILM HAS SO MANY FLAWS,SUCH AS,A RIDICULOUS TWIST REVEALING THE VILLIAN. ALSO,THERE IS A STUPID SCENE IN AN ELEVATOR WHERE A MAN IS ABOUT TO PUSH A BUTTON AND THE WOMAN HE'S WITH PREVENTS HIM FROM DOING IT AND SAYS "SORRY,JUST WANTED A HUG." ALSO,THE CLIMAX IS SO DULL (DE PALMA COULD HAVE STAGED A VERY EXCITING CLIMAX),AND THE ENDING TO THE FILM IS SO UNNECESSARY. OTHER THAN THAT,THIS IS A FINE THRILLER AND DE PALMA FANS WILL PROBABLY NOT BE LESS FLAWED DE PALMA FILM WITH GREAT CINEMATOGRAPHY CHECK OUT "BLOW OUT" WHICH WAS INSPIRED BY ANTONIONI'S "BLOW-UP" IF I WERE DE PALMA,I WOULD HAVE MADE THE PLOT MORE COMPLEX

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: SLEEPY EYES
Review: There was not one surprise in this movie. In fact the plot has been used and reused and over used in a myriad of movies. Hollywood just puts them through the carbon copy machine. NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. Not even for Nicolas Cage.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A tame no surprises hear , boring thriller .
Review: Nicolas Cage and Gary Sinise are both great actors but why theydecided to star in this lame thriller is beyond me. After the 30minute continuous shot it just slopes downhill. Cage and Sinise both act well but whats the point its like being able to swim when trying to drown yourself. Its worth seeing for the first 30 minutes but after that you may aswell go for a walk or something.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great start, but has a ridiculous ending
Review: This started off as a very interesting suspense film. I especially liked how the showed the same murder scene from various people's points of view. The characters were handled perfectly, because you never quite knew if they were the villian or not. By the third act however, it all fell apart. The two biggest problems were that the villian was revealed too early and the climax was horrible. What made this movie intriguing and suspenseful was wondering who the villian was, and once that was given away, the movie began to turn into a run-of-the-mill action flick. If we were left wondering until the final scene, it would of kept me more interested. The second problem was that the final scene was completely ridiculous. I don't want to give anything away, but this ending is such a ludicrious freak occurance it nearly ruined the film.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A high intesity thriller
Review: Nickals Cage gives a spattacklere prformence. A crooked cop whitness a murder in a boxing rink. In all of his confustion, he finds out that one of his best friends is in an the murder. See the movie to see if he escapes alive....

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: B-A-D
Review: I have nothing against Nicholas Cage. I loved THE ROCK and CON AIR. But something when awry with this movie. I mean, my god. The villain is shown in the trailer! And Cage's performance was WAAAAAY over the top and annoying. If you want to see a good movie around the same time as this, see THE NEGOTIATOR with Samuel L. Jackson
