Reviews for Snake Eyes
Never loses its bearings as it hovers between preposterous paranoia and a Billy-Wilder-like moral fable about a deeply flawed hero who draws a line in the sand beyond which he cannot go.
04/27/07
Top CriticA moderately suspenseful thriller that seems somewhat conventional compared to De Palma's earlier envelope-pushing efforts. Intriguing, but the mystery villain is rather obvious from the start.
01/24/06
The picture is a small-scale symphony of kinetic camera movements, rapid-fire montage sequences, split-screen effects, and long-lasting shots that allow characters and settings to interact more artfully than happens in less-imaginatively filmed movies.
01/01/00
The film echoes the technical wizardry and complex plotting of De Palma's best film, Blow Out.
02/09/06
Instantly forgettable, but good fun while it lasts.
05/22/03
The picture is itself a winner in most respects, flawed only by an overly rambunctious characterization by Nicolas Cage.
01/01/00
Despite other flashes of brilliance, De Palma ends up undermining his film with a drawn-out, mega-melodramatic ending that would seem over the top at the Metropolitan Opera.
01/01/00
The first 20 minutes of Snake Eyes are among the most imaginative and energetic minutes of film I've seen in a while.
05/26/06
DePalma, a director who chooses his projects carefully, has scored again.
02/08/03
Although De Palma doesn't always stick rigorously to each separate viewpoint, there's an undeniable finesse in the way he parcels out the exposition in increments...
01/01/00
Top CriticI don't think that there's anything in this film that really doesn't work.
09/10/02
A dazzling piece of entertainment -- a mystery so cleverly constructed you find yourself wanting to see it again before it's over.
05/20/03
It is a bravura display of acting from Mr. Cage, and equally dazzling work from director Brian De Palma.
10/15/02
At first the script is tight and twisty, but its resolution is a mediocre anticlimax.
01/01/00
Trabalhando com um cenário relativamente limitado, De Palma constrói uma história envolvente e ágil.
05/31/02
Snake Eyes is about multiple perceptions of one major event, their relationship to each other and to the audience.
09/23/06
De Palma continues perfecting his brilliant visual style within the most blatantly artificial plot scenarios.
08/21/09
I give De Palma and company credit for not succumbing to the usual bloat we see in big-budget Hollywood films.
04/09/05
[De Palma's] most flamboyant fantasy of high-flying conspiracy and corruption since Blow Out.
