Movie News & Rumours:

I admit it, I was warned. I had read the reviews for Snake Eyes and nobody I knew who saw it had much good to say about it. Yet I still rented it. This movie was like a drink that tastes good when it first hits your mouth but quickly becomes bitter and leaves a nasty aftertaste. This was not an action movie, it tried to be a suspense-like thriller but it failed. The first 15 minutes, you are drawn in by the uncut shot and the frenetic pace as everything is set up. Almost as soon as it is over, though, the plot falls apart. Almost everything is revealed and all of the schemes that are set up in the first scene are thrown out the window. Soon you are not wondering who the murderer is, but rather, are they going to even try and make me figure anything out on my own. Finally, the ending puts the whole stinking mess out of its misery but not without tormenting us with some more inane, headscratching, unnecessary moments. Don't bother with this movie because it is not even worth a rental just to see a lot of "unique" camera angles that are only redundant, at best. P.S. Is anyone else tired of seeing the politician/military guy play the "I am doing this for the good of the people and you wouldn't stop me if you were a true patriot/friend" role. It is pretty stupid and insulting, especially when they are always in it for the power/money. Don't worry, I didn't just spoil the ending, you learn that in the first half of the movie.
