Additional InformationFrom its incredible opening tracking shot to its suspenseful finale, this Brian De Palma thriller maintains a giddy, fever pitch of cinematic style and excitement. Nicolas Cage stars as Atlantic City detective Ritchie Santoro (his explosive energy and flashy clothes mirror the tone of the film), who finds himself heading a high-level investigation after the U.S. secretary of defense is assassinated at the championship fight he's attending. Ritchie's old pal Naval Commander Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise) was assigned to guard the secretary and now fears for his career. A mysterious beautiful woman in white (Carla Gugino) has something to do with the case but is lost amid the 14,000 spectators trapped in the sealed-off arena crime scene. Meanwhile, a raging hurricane is tearing up the boardwalk outside, and as Ritchie begins to unravel the mystery through the casino's massive camera security system, he discovers truths he'd just as soon not have known about. Taking place almost entirely within the confines of the arena and casino on a single dark and stormy night, SNAKE EYES zips along merrily, delivering loads of glitzy atmosphere and fun, Hichcock-style suspense. The appropriately Bernard Herrmann-esque music score is by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
ReviewsSight and Sound - ...Snake Eyes is a real pleasure to watch for its sheer risk-taking expertise..., New York Times - ...SNAKE EYES matches the opening sequence in adrenaline-pumping excitement..., USA Today - "...Snake Eyes sports some of the most breathtaking filmmaking of De Palma's career -- and Nicolas Cage is the one actor who cannot be upstaged by it..." -- 3 out of 4 stars

  • I have always enjoyed this film and it's great to have an original copy of it. It's very rarely available on streaming

    It's a great movie with a good storyline Nic Cage is at his best, loud and upfront A great storyline and a brilliant cast Although the twist is easy to see coming, it still keeps you entertained, well, as long as you like Nick Cage

  • Movie Night

    This Film, although old, is not bad. Gary Sinise's character has an unexpected twist. Apart from the bad language and violence the movie itself is worth a view but, ignore if you can't bear swearing or anything of that nature.

  • Nicholas Cage Turkey

    I gave this a try as it is a Brian De Palma movie but alas Nicolas Cage ruined it, as he has many movies I don't know who told him to try acting but being part of the Francis Ford Cappola family must have helped and it's better than working for a living. You might like it but it didn't work for me so that is a 1 out of ten
