Snake Eyes
First screened in August 2024
Director: Brian De Palma. Cast: Nicolas Cage, Gary Sinise, Carla Gugino, John Heard, Stan Shaw, Joel Fabiani, Michael Rispoli, Chip Zien, Jayne Heitmeyer, Chip Chuipka, Kevin Dunn, Luis Guzmán, Tamara Tunie, David Anthony Higgins, Eric Hoziel. Screenplay: Zach Cregger.

In Brief:  De Palma leads off once more with a grand display of what he can do, then commits fitfully to what follows. Bad script.

VOR:   Many movies never offer the excitement these first 20 minutes generate. Cool inflections elsewhere, but so much is stiff or slipshod.
