Special Nicolas Cage

Snake Eyes (1998)

Hoezo in KINO

Brian De Palma’s rashomonian real-time murder mystery starts with a dazzling one-taker that sets the tone for a stylistic thriller with Cage at the center as a morally impaired officer of the law having to figure out a murder during an Atlantic City high stakes boxing match. Snake Eyes is a pulpy genre film that serves up a delightfully over the top performance by Cage with a great supporting cast lead by Gary Sinise. English language without subtitles.
