| Summary: Pretty good, should have been better. | |
| Nicolas Cage plays an Atlantic City police detective who gets caught up in a conspiracy to assassinate the Secretary of Defense at a boxing fight. The plot has a few twists and turns but is not really a true whodunnit, as things get revealed as time goes on. Cage gives a good performance, but I've seen him do better. The storyline is kind of odd, and the obligatory romance seems almost forced. Overall it's pretty entertaining as a crime drama, with the twists of how one deals with loyalties and friendships, but it doesn't go very deep. | |

| Summary: OK suspense film | |
| Nicolas Cage rarely does bad films. He occasionally does average films, and Snake Eyes is one of those. It's a stock conspiracy/suspense film, with Cage as the morally ambiguous protagonist. It's fine if you're bored and it happens to be on, but don't bother seeking it out. | |
