Brian De Palma's 1998 thriller is largely an exercise in airing out his orchestral, oversized visual style (think of his Blowout, Body Double, or Raising Cain) for the heck of it. The far-fetched story features Nicolas Cage as a crooked police detective attending a championship boxing match at which the Secretary of Defense is assassinated. The unfortunate Secretary's right-hand man (Gary Sinise) happens to be Cage's old friend, a fact that complicates the cop's efforts to reconstruct the crime from conflicting accounts--a directorial strategy bearing similarities to Kurosawa's Rashomon. The outrageousness of the scenario essentially gives De Palma permission to construct a baroque cathedral of spectacular camera stunts, which (he well knows) are inevitably more interesting than the hoary conspiracy plot. (The opening scene alone, which runs on for a number of minutes and consists of one, unbroken shot that moves in from the street, following Cage up and down stairs, and in and out of rooms until finally ending ringside at the match, is breathtaking.) The shifting points of view--based on the contradictory statements of witnesses--also give De Palma license to get creative with camera angles and scene rearrangements. The script bogs down in the third act, but De Palma is just revving up for a big, operatic finish that is absolutely gratuitous but undeniably impressive. Yes, it's style over substance in Snake Eyes, but what style we're talking about. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews of Snake Eyes (1998) (Spanish) (Sub)

THE HOUSE WINS
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.


sorry
i didn't like the movie. it didn't make sense. i like nick cage but he should of pass on this movie. face off was better.


A very complex film -- much more than it's given credit.
The editorial review here by the Amazon guy (Keough?) is totally off the mark. He missed out on the entire point of Sinise purposefully plotting the crime where he did and not "coincidentally" with his friend. Forget all the dazzling camera work and just focus on the two main characters. Sinise's motivation is one of the more compelling that I have seen in ANY movie villain, and not easy to dismiss. To the film's credit it never marginalizes him, and winds up making some pretty serious statements about how we view loyalty. Cage's character and his relationship with Sinise really brings this out. Quite simply, a brilliant script. The only thing I would say is a bit hokey is the outfits of the ladies. But really, that just kind of makes it fun. Gorgeous Ryuiki Sakamoto score. This movie is not about DePalma flexing his technical muscles. It's one of the best American films in decades.
