Snake Eyes (1998)

Nicolas Cage runs roughshod through the hotels and casinos of Atlantic City in Brian De Palma’s kinetic crime thriller Snake Eyes (1998). The director exhibits his trademark camera razzle-dazzle to spin a story about a homicide cop (Cage) who witnesses a hit attempt on a high-ranking government official. Before long the sleazy but charismatic detective is hard at work rounding up suspects and trying to keep abreast of every last double-cross. One of his witnesses is busty beauty Carla Gugino--who doesn’t need any of DePalma’s steadicam tricks to show off her drop-dead-gorgeous bod.
