Snake Eyes
All bets are off when shady homicide cop Rick Santoro witnesses a murder during a boxing match. Determined to solve the crime, he quickly learns that his search for answers will only uncover yet more questions in an ever-widening web of conspiracy, intrigue, and danger.
Critics Sentiment
Defense Secretary Kirkland shot during fight while Julia is wounded

Sharp decline from the acclaimed opening tracking shot (8.2) to the widely criticized hurricane finale (3.8), dropping 4.4 points
Snake Eyes opens with universal praise for De Palma's technical virtuosity, particularly the famous tracking shot, but rapidly loses momentum once the predictable conspiracy is revealed. Critics consistently noted that the film's potential was squandered by an obvious plot twist and increasingly implausible final act. The film transforms from a promising thriller into a disappointing exercise in overdirection.
