Oz and Curtis are putting on the flashiest snakeskin jackets, heading to Atlantic City Fight Night, and trying to keep our eyes on the ring while a hurricane brews outside to break down Brian De Palma’s conspiracy thriller: Snake Eyes!Rick Santoro (Nicolas Cage) is a loud-mouthed, crooked Atlantic City police detective who loves money, influence, and the spotlight. When he scores ringside seats to a heavyweight title fight alongside his childhood best friend, Navy Commander Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise), he thinks he’s in for the ultimate night out. But when the U.S. Secretary of Defense is assassinated in front of 14,000 screaming fans mid-bout, Santoro locks down the casino arena to find the shooter. As he unravels differing eyewitness accounts and follows a mysterious woman in a wig (Carla Gugino), Santoro uncovers a sinister military conspiracy that forces him to choose between his corrupt lifestyle and doing the right thing.We break down everything that makes this late-90s thriller explode off the screen: Brian De Palma’s virtuosic direction—including that legendary, seemingly continuous opening tracking shot and signature split-screen work—Nicolas Cage turning his frantic energy up to 11, Gary Sinise’s stoic counterweight performance, and the sheer neon-soaked casino spectacle. Is Snake Eyes an underappreciated gem of De Palma’s visual filmography and a trashy-fun 90s Noir staple, or just a movie that proves you should never place all your bets on a rigged game? Tune in for our full Snake Eyes 1998 movie review!If you’re into analyzing auteur filmmaking techniques, appreciating high-concept 90s thrillers, or listening to two dudes who would definitely lose their shirt at the Atlantic City craps tables within five minutes, this episode is for you.To secure your content and avoid getting rolled by the casino floor, head straight over to https://LetsTalkAboutFlix.com — where our takes are as wild as a roll of the dice and guaranteed to be an entertaining listen.Follow the boys on social media:Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/letstalkaboutflix⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/letstalkaboutflix/⁠Support the show: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/talkaboutflix#moviepodcast #filmpodcast #comedypodcast #filmreview #moviereview
