      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Snake Eyes has a number of ingredients that promise a trashy fun time; unfortunately, they're lost in an energetic and stylish thriller with a frustratingly hollow core.

      steve d Not great but not terrible. There's alot to like here. Interesting camera work. Classic Nick Cage being Nick Cage. Gary Sinise is always a pleasure. Plots a little thing but still enjoyable. Vastly better story telling than the terrible stuff that's being coming out the last few years. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review SpookySkeleton M Awesome movie, never has a boring moment. While there are some things a little hard to believe, it's still a pretty good movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Jack t Snake Eyes! Even though my brother Daniel saw a person who is from Transformers in this piece of sxxt! The opening is boring, but I do like the sound effects and the part where Nicolas Cage says " To give you a b£££r". It's just a boring boring film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review Alan W Brian De Palma directs an unsung masterpiece of suspense. The starting scene catapults us into this world of intrigue with a long unedited scene that plays for many minutes, following Nicholas Cage into this underworld of gambling, drugs, and corruption. This film is truly riveting, and captivates any keen audience. One of Nicholas Cage's greatest performances. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/23 Full Review Webb H A solid mystery thriller that gives the viewer more and more information as the movie goes by showing the same events from several different perspectives. The third act is a little slow and the runtime is maybe 20 minutes too long, but overall, an interesting plot combined with Nic Cage makes for an enjoyable watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/23 Full Review Kilian The action scenes were too much and the main character failed to convey any emotions. A very dull experience, that feels like it was made for kids. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 3/4 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Todd McCarthy Variety Wispy threads of dramatic plausibility and character involvement unravel completely by the time of the incredibly silly final reel. Sep 18, 2008 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Brian De Palma has made better films, but few have been as underrated as Snake Eyes. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Snake Eyes is not first-rate De Palma. At best it's a triumph of style over substance. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault De Palma devotes full widescreen close-ups to things that mean nothing, and he gives us teasing, blurry glimpses of crucial events. It’s all play, all movie. Rated: B Sep 2, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
