Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe opening 20 minute Steadicam sequence is not really one continuous shot - there are numerous hidden edits. At least 12 minutes of the sequence was done in one take.
- Goofs(at around 26 mins) When Santoro is speaking with Lincoln Tyler in his room for the first time, Lincoln says he was head-butted and there are 2 butterfly stitches on his right eye brow. When he sends everyone out of the room you can clearly see that Lincoln now has 3 butterfly stitches on his right eyebrow while talking with Santoro.
- Quotes
Commander Kevin Dunne: How's Angela?
Rick Santoro: Fat, fabulous, fantastic--I love her.
Commander Kevin Dunne: How's the other one--what's her name? Candy?
Rick Santoro: Oh, Monique? Skinny, mean, expensive--I *LOVE* her!
- Crazy creditsThe end credits scroll over a construction site scene (presumably the new casino), closing in tighter and tighter until the final shot is of a bright red jewel embedded in a concrete pillar that the workmen are installing. Most of the time the jewel is hidden under the hand of one of the workers. The ring was worn by the red-haired woman/Navy agent who was part of Commander Kevin Dunn's scheme.

Featured review
A feast of visuals, but a famine of suspense.
Director Brian DePalma has always been excellent at letting the visual image speak for itself (like Hitchcock, with whom he is often compared). In "Snake Eyes", the juxtaposed and multi-angled images are captivating for a while, until you realize how unsuspenseful the story quickly becomes. Once all the key players and plot elements are revealed, the film seems to have nowhere to go and resorts to those hokey flashback devices where we see the events play out differently via each character's recollection. Cage and Sinise do the best they can with the material, but they lack real motivation, mirroring the film's lack of direction. This particularly hurts Sinise's characterization which starts out solid, then is set adrift mid-way through the film, and winds up completely contrived by the end. Overall a disappointment, but maybe not a bad rental if you are a Nicholas Cage fan.
