Movie Reviews of Snake Eyes
Movie Review: A different kind of thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay so the majority of critics didn't really go for this one. Why? Cause it's different. This isn't a slam-bang action Brukhiemer film, nor is it an suspenseful-scary thriller. The film tries to be both in a way at once. It is sort of a stylish representation of an audience looking through a hidden camara. The audience acts as a jury by being expsed to all different views of different people that all converge in one situation. I think people watched it hoping for action ,they didn't get it, it's action not just the type like Con-air and the Rock, people wanted suspense, but this aint no teen-horror flick. This is a crime-thriller that throws in brilliant camara work and acting. This movie is pretty good. Forget that what the critics said, watch it and don't expect BOOM!!! Rat-tat-tat!!!!!Hasta-vista-baby. The movie is finely executed , but was seriously overlooked by audience and critics alike. Don't make the same mistake.Movie Review: A Brilliant thriller with one-hell-of-a let down ending.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have never been so in awe of a films opening before, the 13 minute, no stops scene keeped me so enthralled, I swear I didn't blink once, I suppose no movie could keep up that kind of pace. (except Die Hard) But thats no reason for the makers to concoct such an anti-climax of an ending, It is such a shame, this really had the potential to be a perfect movie. Apart from the last twenty minutes this IS a perfect movie. Nic has never been so enthusiastic and gary does more of his bad guy (very much like his role in Ransom) role. The directing is top-notch, taking a done-to -death idea and using everything at their disposal to make it original. (eg. The brilliant camera work) It is easily worth your hard earned money just for the first 20 minutes.Movie Review: A Brian De Palma Masterpiece
Summary: 4 Stars
One of Brian De Palma's most unique movies, Snake Eyes is filled with all of De Palma's unique directing styles and visual beauty. From the split screen shots, to the long crane shots of several hotel rooms, to the thirteen minute opening where no cut is visible, this movie has it all. An amazing story with several plot twists, Snake Eyes centers around the same event from several character's point of views, a task in which only De Palma could have pulled off. Snake Eyes is clearly De Palma at his directing best. If you want to see a first rate thriller with all of De Palma's original directing beauty, see Snake Eyes.Movie Review: Conspiracy in Atlantic City
Summary: 4 Stars
At first I didn't like this film because of the plot twist in the middle that seemed a bit too obvious. But now, as I am finding interest in political thrillers, I find this a fine underrated film. Yes, there's the typical uninterrupted shot from director de Palma, but Snake Eyes is much more than that. There's lots of political intrigue, as well as fantastic performances by Nicholas Cage and Gary Sinise. I didn't really find the ending as deeply satisfying as I hoped, but still, the film overall is a very good one. I would recommend this to those who are into political thrillers . . . and boxing.Movie Review: Outstanding!
Summary: 4 Stars
A great addition to my DVD collection. Cage is brilliantly "hyper" and delivers "the goods". The story is great and keeps your attention. However, when will studios learn to properly format these DVDs for 16:9 Wide Screen TVs?? There's no excuse! "Starship Troopers and "The Player" are beautiful examples of properly formated disks! Although this DVD is in "wide screen", it's in the original cinema format - no good for the realities of domestic TVs! Anyway, it's a great film - if your a Cage fan, you can't afford to miss this one!
