BBM at the movies - Snake Eyes review

         The secretary of state or something like that gets assasinated at a boxing match
     which means that there are 14,000 witneses and everyone is a suspect. The Cage
     is again impressive as the loud mouth cop determined to solve the crime. (I think
     that's four times in a row that I have said that The Cage has been impresive. I think
     I will have to write a formal apology and retraction of any earlier derogatory
     comments) The directing is also absolutely brilliant by Brian De Palma. It all starts
     in the second or third scene with a massive shot that lasts about ten minutes and
     this is when the assasination takes place and must have took ages to get right but
     it is well worth it and there were many other moments in the film where I thought
     "that's absolutely smart" what he's done so look out for them.
        The problem with the film is that there was no big climax at the end where
     everything is revealed as is the norm in these sort of films and where it finally
     clicks what has gone down. The sinister twist was revealed far too early for my
     liking and this is what stopped it from getting what could have been an eight or
     8.5 out of ten.
